Answer 1

I was running into the same issue and these suggestions didn't help. Here's what I figured out: since you declared the script with the listener in the background: {} section, it logs to a background page. You can see that log specifically by clicking "Inspect background page" right below the extension at the chrome://extensions. that's where the listener logs to.

Commenter rsanchez provides the correct answer:

Are you working with an unpacked extension? You need to remove and re-add the extension for suggested shorcut keys to be considered.
