How can we disable AI chatbot shortcut (or customize it)?

The current shortcut `ctrl+alt+x` conflicts with a desktop dictionary tool, which I've used for many years.

The Ctrl + Alt + X shortcut for the AI chatbot is causing a conflict with a desktop dictionary tool. Currently, Firefox does not provide a direct way to change or disable this shortcut in the standard settings.

To disable it, open about:config in the address bar, press Enter, and accept the warning. Then, search for browser.ml.chat.shortcuts and set it to false by double-clicking it.

If you prefer to change the shortcut instead of disabling it, you may need to use a third-party tool like Microsoft PowerToys to remap the shortcut to a different key combination.

in addition, fyi, need to disable the browser.ml.chat.enabled, otherwise the shortcut ctrl+alt+x still responds.

Update:
From version 147, now we can use about:keyboard to disable or customize built-in shortcuts!
