Comment:

 I'm marking this as a low priority, and as a candidate to `close` for a
 few reasons:

 - This is a super old library that, even in forked repositories, appears
 to be no longer actively maintained.
 - In core, this only seems to be used for comments.
 - There are a few lines commented out for browser compatibility reasons
 (see #20885).
 - In the future, comments may actually become blocks/block editors.
 - There are better, more modern ways to accomplish this.

 But, let's try to at least look at this and close this out in 5.4 by
 either:

 - Closing out without updating.
 - Updating to the latest version of the
 [https://github.com/tzuryby/jquery.hotkeys current repository].

 There seem to be some compatibility changes that need to be made to update
 to the latest version. If this requires anything more than a trivial level
 of effort, I vote to leave it as is.
