Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and asks for system-wide control on all operating systems. Start by locating mpv's existing input and platform-integration entry points, then identify the supported keyboard shortcut behavior for each OS. Done means the behavior is implemented across the requested operating systems and verified with the relevant tests or manual checks.
