What's Wrong?

Please AVOID intruding on well established OS default keyboard shortcuts!

When I select some text on the current webpage and press Cmd-E, Claude Chrome Extension pops up instead! 😠

What Should Happen?

Cmd-E is universally used for "Use selection for Find" for the Mac clipboard. Just like Cmd-C is Copy and Cmd-G is Find Next...
