> Is there a comprehensive and maintained list of these?
There are two lists, both have some minor ommissions:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/keyboard_shortcuts/index.html


The challenge, though, is not that the lists have omissions but that shortcuts that follow the most convenient and easy-to-use patterns (ctrl/cmd + character, ctrl/cmd + shift + character) are no longer available. 


**macOS**
> What would be the shortcut on macOS? 
Right now, I'm trying to understand if we can use `Ctrl + 1` for macOS. 
`Ctrl + letter` is widely used in [Apple's applications](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102650), and using a letter would be preferable, from my perspective.
Bryan, I am realizing that I might have misread your earlier message with links to strings for access keys, as it covers `Alt + symbol` and `Option + symbol` on mac, but not Ctrl. Is the `Ctrl + symbol` actually available on macOS with the symbols I listed above?

**Windows + Linux**
> It might be worth looking into Ctrl + Alt + [letter] for Windows and Linux. Right now we only have Ctrl + Alt + R for toggling Reader Mode on Linux, and Ctrl + Alt + P/G as commands within print preview on both Linux and Windows.

Ctrl + Alt on Windows produces [AltGr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key), AFAIK.
*Windows interprets Ctrl+Alt as AltGr, to accommodate some compact keyboards like those of netbooks which have neither the AltGr key nor a right-hand Alt key. Thus Ctrl+Alt+a has the same effect as AltGr+a. Because of this feature, Microsoft advises that Ctrl+Alt not be used as part of any application keyboard shortcut, as it would prevent typing the matching AltGr character on such keyboards.*

It looks like this would create a problem for some locales for some symbols. I'm curious how did we pick `+ R` and + `P/G` combinations, and what combinations do we use in locales with non-Latin scripts?
