I don't think this is a much improvement from the status quo of handling keydown event manually. If anything, what we need to be solving here is the problem such as Ctrl+B behaving like Cmd+B on Mac and yet another platform may have another convention.
We should design API such that authors don't have to manually hard code each and every platform's convention.

I don't follow what you're trying to say here. Could you clarify what problem you're trying to solve?
