Description
I think it would be cool for the in browser app to have hotkeys / keyboard shortcuts. Goal is to help users do common tasks more efficiently. For example, press s to open the send screen, or shift control n to create a new account.
Github's keyboard shortcuts provide a nice example of what I am imagining: https://help.github.com/articles/using-keyboard-shortcuts/

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the in-browser app's input and navigation handling, then clarify which common tasks and shortcut mappings are in scope, including browser and accessibility conflicts. Done should include an agreed shortcut set and working shortcuts for the selected tasks.
