Shift-Command-M is the key combination for producing the diacritical character ā in the keyboard I am using. However, if i am on a web page that is a form with fillable fields, trying to type this key combination jumps my cursor to the first field at the top of the form, instead of typing the ā in the field I am in. Why does this key combination do that? And is there any way to disable this keyboard shortcut (if that is what it is)?

Sorry, that key combination problem was Shift-OPTION-M (not Shift-Command-M).

It is possible that there is an accesskey="m" set for that field as on Mac Option+Shift are the modifier keys for the access key (Linux/Windows: Alt+Shift). You can check that in the Inspector.

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this input element selected.
