chrome exit shortcut ctrl shift q not working

I just installed ubuntu 18.04 and google chrome but I find the exit shortcut Ctrl+Shift+q not working and has no effect.

What could be the reason?

Disabling the shortcut was requested in Chromium bugs, and it looks like the request was finally fulfilled:

You can join those that are now requesting it as a customization flag. Otherwise, looks like you'll have to make a custom shortcut.

Ctrl+Shift+W closes current window, so if there's only one window open, it exits Chromium.

I found it is because I have the habit of setting Ctrl+Q to Close Window, setting this back to Alt+F4 would make Ctrl+Shift+Q work in chrome. But I had this setting successfully working with chrome in KDE. Don' know if it is a bug, though.
