Answer 1

You need to check if you have ibus installed. Firstly you should type in terminal:

ibus-setup

If some window appears you should go to Emoji tab and delete key combination

||

/

If you have nothing like ibus-setup available in your terminal go to your home directory

cd ~/

Look if you have .profile file there. If no you can create one if yes open it and add:

#My modifications
export GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=xim"
#End of my modifications

Save the file and logout and login or reboot your computer. Next time when you will start chrome you will be able to use Shift + Ctrl + E key combination.
