 Hotkeys are becoming more commonplace in rich web applications], and I
 think users could benefit a lot from more support in Core.

 If new hotkeys are added, it'd be very useful to have a `?` hotkey, which
 could bring up a dialog showing a reference table of all other hotkeys
 (both global, and for the current screen), so users don't have to memorize
 them. It could potentially show hotkeys registered by plugins, too (maybe
 even automatically via jQuery.hotkeys, instead of a manual registration
 step).

 I think they should all be enabled by default (related #21414), because
 that'd be more convenient for people who want to use them, but generally
 wouldn't interfere with those who don't.
