The ability to re-bind any keyboard or mouse shortcuts is major accessibility issue that I think needs more attention (connect.mozilla.org)

Yeah, I've thought that in addition to regular keystrokes operating systems should provide logical events. If I press Ctrl+c don't send Ctrl+c to the application, send Copy (Maybe also with the original keystroke in case it needs to be interpreted "raw" like when using remote desktop software). We sort of have this for keyboard, there are special keys like Mute and Web Browser, but I think we should extend this system for common actions that are basically universal.
