Some thoughts and questions:
1. Name: I suggest aria-hotkey.
2. Discoverability -- how do users find out what the key combinations are?
3. The spec text says that if the control is invisible, then its
keyboard shortcut does not trigger the action. This will exclude menu
items within a menu that is not popped open. That is different from how
menuitems work on the desktop; for example, cmd+s on a Mac activates the
"File" menu's "Save" menuitem even when the menu and menuitem are invisible.
4. How do aria-kbdshortcuts apply in the case of touch interfaces?
5. How does this differ from accesskey [1], i.e. what problem does it
solve that accesskey doesn't? I think part of the answer is that
aria-kbdshortcuts includes the modifier keys, whereas acceskey doesn't,
which is clearer.
6. How does aria-kbdshortcuts interact with accesskey? Which one wins
if an element has both?
