Screen reader safe keyboard shortcuts

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any experience implementing keyboard shortcuts and can advise on combinations that won't conflict with important shortcuts for screen readers, browsers, or OS commands.

Right now I think CTRL + SHIFT + C may be safe (it opens the developer tools in Chrome, but I can live with that being blocked).

Thanks in advance!
