Description

We want to have first-class support for keyboard shortcuts, and we want it to be extensible.

What needs to be done:
- Work out a complete plan for what keyboard shortcuts will do what.
- Design what the UX for keyboard shortcut discovery will look like. I really like what the Mailbox app for Mac does – when you hold down the Command key, it superimposes the keyboard shortcuts directly over the UI elements that they activate. I think that would be a very cool way to do it, as opposed to a big wall of keys/actions (not easy to learn!)
- Implementation is something I'll sit down and nut out at some point.
