Whenever i type a letter for a keybind on youtube it will exexute that keybind. For exmaple F for Fullscreen. While that is normal behaivour it now also opens when i am in a Textfield. I cant write or comment or search something cause as soon as i type F or I etc. it opens shortcuts and messes with everything. Its only on youtube though. I am afraid i enabled a option which i dont know of and i dont know how to disable it.

Yes, Reddit also is flooded with posts on this problem. (for example) Probably Google changed something and it's better to wait for a fix than to try to hack around it.

You could check the Customize tab. There's a box of buttons that are available to add to the toolbar. Can you find it there?
