@Angela Yoeurng: Can you comment please? Reading the commit comment on the suspect change, it appears the change was intentional. Was it? If so, what's the rationale for making the starter pack entries non-editable. If users want to override these shortcuts, they should be allowed to do so.

Make starter pack entries un-editable.
This CL removes the edit pencil option from starter pack entries (built in non-default search engines like @bookmarks, @history, @tabs, etc. entries in keyword mode) in chrome://settings/searchEngines.

Description
Steps to reproduce the problem
Problem Description
Previously @tabs, @bookmarks, and @history search shortcuts were editable. With the change option, a user could change the shortcuts to something easier to type and faster to get the results.
For example, I changed them to single-character shortcuts, like @tabs -> t, @bookmarks -> b, and @history -> h.
The default shortcuts (@tabs, @bookmarks, and @history) require lots of typing costing time and energy. For power users who use these shortcuts ~100 times a day, this is a huge regression of user experience.
The Chrome team can argue that by just typing @ - Chrome shows the list of search options starting with @, then the user needs to select the preferred shortcut option by arrow keys, and finally the user can start typing to get the desired results! Please understand this is hugely inefficient.
Also, to type the @ the user needs to press two keys (shift + number 2), requiring both ring fingers, those are not the strongest fingers to use after a long hours of typing.
Instead, like before, if we could change the shortcuts to a single character, we could just hit the character and space, and start typing to get the results.
Chrome already had the feature. Please do a favor to us by bringing the edit feature for (@tabs, @bookmarks, and @history) shortcuts again.
Summary
@tabs, @bookmarks, @history shortcuts NO longer editable which REDUCES productivity a lot.
