What are overriding keyboard shortcuts and how do they work?

Shortcut keys in Zoho Sheet that are similar to browser's shortcuts are called overriding keyboard shortcuts. By default, the Override browser shortcuts option will be enabled, allowing Zoho Sheet's shortcuts to work instead of your browser's shortcut.
