At least the hyperlink Ctrl + L and code Ctrl + K shortcuts go against the common web standards — in combination with the SE editor not behaving quite as expected with the (system-level) undo and redo functions I lose a bit of progress here and there when writing Q/A. Web applications may also clash with the browser hotkeys (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) — I'm sure many would like to remap at a larger scale without disabling the SE hotkeys entirely.
