Chrome uses ALT+VK_OEM_3 as an accelerator to invoke JavaScript debugger.
VK_OEM_3 is '~' on JP layout + 101 keyboard. (or on US layout + any 
keyboard)
ALT+~ is Windows standard key combination to activate Japanese Input 
Method Editor (IME) on 101 keyboard.

So, for Japanese 101 keyboard users, JavaScript debugger key and IME 
activation key conflict.

Chrome 0.3.154.6

c.f. This problem was reported at Japanese U2U:

any updates on this issue?

Comment 6 by jshin@chromium.org, Nov 12, 2008

Probably, we'd better change the accelerator for javascript debugger. Ctrl-Shift+D is 
open (CTRL-D is taken by 'starring'). A one-liner will do it. I'll make a change and 
send for review.

It's fixed in r6438 (  http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=6438 
http://codereview.chromium.org/10652 )

Jon, would you consider merging the patch to the branch? It's late in the game, but
the change is so small that it cannot possibly have a bad effect. And, Japanese (and
German/French/Russian : see  issue 5087 ) users would be happy to see it fixed in 1.0 :-)

Verified on branch 0.4.154.33 (Official Build 6493), fixed.

  Debug JavaScript -> Ctrl+Shift+L
JavaScript console -> Ctrl+Shift+J
