For fairness sake, isn't there an head-on problem with chosen solution:
- plugins must be updated for this to work. If they won't be all updated (since there are many of them), in these cases plugin won't pass anything, and no events would be processed by browser;
- even if updated and intending to behave nicely, plugins just can't know which shortcuts they can use freely, and which are used for fundamental browser functions (there's no API for that). What if there are keys changed/added by addons, or if it's another browser with completely different shortcuts?
