AFAICT, at least Alt+Shift+T and Alt+D seem not to be preventable by a
web page.

Well, I wouldn't really call having to hit "Alt+Shift+T, Left * 5,
Space" for accessing the wrench menu "good enough". Whether you choose
Alt+F or Alt+Shift+whathever, Chrome feels like being less in your way
(once you know the shortcut).
Then again: Is accessibility one of the goals for Chrome at all? Or is
it just not tested for for lack of manpower? As it currently stands,
it can get quite frustrating to use without a mouse (double accesskeys
in menus, no accesskeys at all in dialogs, certain shortcuts
unavailable on non-US keyboards, page actions unreachable).
