The only app I've found so far like that is Gmail, but 95% of it's
shortcuts are single keys that only work when you're not already
focussed in an editable field. In pgAdmin, that doesn't help much in
cases like this, when you're likely editing a query.

Yeah, you'd think there should be some moral obligation, but you're
right - it is a free for all.
