Problem Description
On a mac system, I have the muscle memory of being able to ctrl+a and ctrl+k to clear the text box. This flow doesn't work in open-webui, since ctrl+k brings up the search box instead.
Desired Solution you'd like
Either allow arbitrary keyboard shortcut overrides, or change the detection of
isCtrlPressedat2470da8336/src/routes/(app)/+layout.svelte#L118 to work properly on macOS systems. It looks like the intention was for macOS shortcuts to use the meta key, but in reality it will use ctrl OR meta, which subsumes twice the default shortcuts.In this case, it looks like "properly" would mean that on macOS systems you'd look at
event.metaKey, otherwise you'd look atevent.ctrlKey.Alternatives Considered

And #17015 which I just filed, which also deals with an unexpected/undesired shortcut (Cmd+R regenerates last message instead of reloading page)
