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?
