Possible application of CTRL-Enter functionality

It must be considered that CTRL-Enter functionality is not only useful for the user / teacher but also for the admin (the admin will be really used to Moodle because usually he/she has been using Moodle for a long time and he would know by heart shortcuts like CTRL-Enter).

This is the list of pages where there is only a submit button (classified by submit, update, send in ratings or whatever):

Note: usually in nearly all pages there is also the turn editing on button in this page.

Turn editing on

http://localhost/

Save changes

(...) all sections of settings.php

http://localhost/admin/settings.php?section=modsettingassignment
http://localhost/admin/block.php?block=24
http://localhost/mod/wiki/view.php?id=4&page=edit/Wiki%20Friki (save should be by default)

(...)this happens with all the activities and resources (wiki, forum, lesson,...), when somebody wants to edit a wiki, save should be the default option(this concerns all roles).

Update profile

http://localhost/user/editadvanced.php?id=-1 (although there are two show advanced buttons)

Upload user

Add new discussion topic

http://localhost/course/view.php

Update this quiz/forum/wiki

http://localhost/mod/forum/view.php?id=1 (although there is also the button "add new discussion")
http://localhost/mod/quiz/view.php?id=2 (although there is also the button "preview quiz now")
http://localhost/mod/wiki/view.php?id=4 (although there is also the button "reload this page")

(...) the same happens with glossary, lesson and other activities or resources

Continue

http://localhost/backup/backup.php?id=2 (it has two buttons, continue and cancel, but CTRL-Enter should be continue)

This is the list of pages where there is more than a submit button:

More than a submit button

http://localhost/admin/user.php
http://localhost/admin/user/user_bulk.php
http://localhost/course/index.php?categoryedit=on
http://localhost/user/index.php?contextid=8 (this page corresponds to the participants page and there are select, deselect and ok buttons)
http://localhost/course/modedit.php?update=1&return=0 (there are save and return, save and display and ok)

(...) the same happens with edit pages of glossary, lesson and other activities or resources

http://localhost/course/reset.php?id=2
http://localhost/course/import.php?id=2 (several options)
http://localhost/files/index.php?id=2&wdir=/backupdata (restore option of administration)
http://localhost/group/index.php?id=2 (create and auto-create)

Shortcuts applied elsewhere within Moodle

In Moodle it is used Acunote's Javascript Keyboard Shortcuts Framework. However in this framework there are some keys that they are not listened:

// Keys we don't listen 
   keys: {
       KEY_BACKSPACE: 8,
       KEY_TAB:       9,
       KEY_ENTER:    13,
       KEY_SHIFT:    16,
       KEY_CTRL:     17,
       KEY_ALT:      18,
       KEY_ESC:      27,
       KEY_SPACE:    32,
       KEY_LEFT:     37,
       KEY_UP:       38,
       KEY_RIGHT:    39,
       KEY_DOWN:     40,
       KEY_DELETE:   46,
       KEY_HOME:     36,
       KEY_END:      35,
       KEY_PAGEUP:   33,
       KEY_PAGEDOWN: 34
   },

There are some GSoC projects managed with Acunote and last year a GSoC project of Moodle called Moodle Voice used Acunote.
