I spent a little bit of time investigating the possibility of a chrome
extension to turn off the keyboard shortcuts and search mechanism a
little while ago. I eventually gave up but what I learned is that those
changes are apparently related to the inline edit ability that was
added. The edit window only loads in what is currently visible so
regular browser search would not work.
 
I've adapted to the new interface and really like some of the new
capabilities it provides, but having the page jump around while I'm
commenting has been a huge annoyance.
