Comment:

 If it was done, it doesn't work ;)

 It's a really bad idea. Ctrl +S is a common browser keyboard shortcut. In
 Opera, Firefox and others Ctrl +S triggers a "Save page as" dialog for
 saving a web page locally. Overriding browser behaviour can lead to
 undesired results and can have a huge impact on accessibility. (Screen
 readers such as JAWS also use Ctrl +S for saving local copies of pages).
 For this reason, many people find the Gmail hotkey unusable and confusing
 (it also doesn't work in all browsers - just another thing to consider!)

 Hotkeys in WordPress would be very useful, but they need to be hotkeys
 that are not already in use by browsers and assistive devices.
