Comment:

 On reading through this ticket, I'm inclined to close it. This isn't
 because there isn't a benefit to improving support for keyboard shortcuts
 in core; it's because this ticket is so incredibly broad that I'm not
 convinced that it's actionable as it is. "Reading context" isn't a clearly
 defined thing; I'm honestly not sure what context you're actually
 requesting here.

 The WordPress editor's command palette provides this context when in the
 editor, and in the future admin redesign, that palette would be available
 in all panels using the new admin, so this is on a roadmap.

 For the classic admin, I think that requests for new keyboard shortcuts
 need to be more discrete: open tickets requesting a specific keyboard
 shortcut, in a specific context or contexts. That will make this something
 that has a better chance of creating change.
