Description
Maybe I miss something, but I would appreciate if the greeter would support keyboard shortcuts, especially for shutdown/reboot. In test mode, there is support:
It would be great if they were configurable, but I would also be happy with sensible defaults, such as those used by gtk-greeter: https://github.com/Xubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter/blob/9f22ff36df4114d9ebb484afd90b5e58149f15a1/src/lightdm-gtk-greeter.c#L3138-L3143

Research direction
Start with src/main-window.vala lines 444-457, which shows the existing test-mode keyboard handling, and compare the referenced gtk-greeter defaults. Determine how shortcuts should work in the normal greeter and whether configuration is required; done means shutdown and reboot shortcuts operate reliably with the agreed defaults or settings.
