  That's a lot of work for satisfying very few people. My boss would not be happy

    I'm normally the first person to say we browsers don't need to be any more complicated, but this is one thing I think would be pretty cool. Website authors could specify a list of [name, callback, defaultKey] and each browser could implement an interface to change the binding locally. There could be a button right in the address bar for both discovering them and changing them.

  It certainly is possible, it just so rarely shows up in modern web projects. It is not something I have ever seen raised in a UX design meeting or during development. I honestly think it's just lack of awareness. I know it's partly because we warned against jacking native behavior, I think that probably scared people off shortcuts on the web early on. Now we have really complex web apps, but shortcuts are still not being thought about.
