I see what you mean. My idea was indeed to come up with a first, convincing set, then expand on this and/or adjust it while we go. However, it will be difficult to change a mapping once we've defined it. Users will hate it, if keyboard commands they're used to change in a new release. Solutions I see are:
In addition, we might also want to consider investing into a "revealing" function that visually shows all keyboard shortcuts of all actions and UI elements currently in view (similar to pressing "TAB" in Asana task manager). |

I'd also revisit the strategy we currently have for shortcuts and try to eliminate hacks/inconsistencies, i.e:
One option we could research (just a suggestion) is the jQuery's hotkeys plugin - looks pretty promising, allows to bind a shortcut an id/classname etc. |

pasting here too now that this is revived as an epic; here's a reference read on single-key shortcuts: J, K, or How to choose keyboard shortcuts for web applications |

When defining keyboard shortcuts, I strongly suggest consulting the official W3 content accessibility guidelines section on keyboards (2.1). There are just 4 rules and pretty reasonable IMO, as well as up-to-date (published mid-2018). |
