accidental cmd+enter publishes the post

When a user adds a link in the CK5 editor using only keyboard shortcuts, the usual flow is:
1. Press Cmd + K to open the link popup.
2. Press Cmd + V to paste the URL from the clipboard.
3. Sometimes, press Cmd + Enter instead of just Enter.
This can accidentally publish the post, which is disruptive and inconvenient. I also found an open Strapi PR that appears to address the same issue by changing the shortcut behavior so Cmd/Ctrl + Enter saves a draft, while Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Enter publishes instead. The PR was opened on January 28, 2026 and is linked to issue #25165. 
Would it be possible to implement a similar fix here?

Hi Dipak, thanks for raising this! Good news: it's fixed since Strapi v5.49.0.
The shortcuts in the Edit View are now:
- Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: save your draft (no more accidental publishing)
- Cmd/Ctrl + S: save your draft too
- Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Enter: publish
The fix shipped in PR #26621 (it replaced #25283).
Release note: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/releases/tag/v5.49.0
I'm marking this one as Complete.
