Redesign CTRL+/ key

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We may need to redesign key CTRL+/ for better accessibility.

From Olli,

Quickly testing the WebAnywhere application, I have one suggestion:
It hints pushing 'Ctrl+/' for accessing shortcut keys, but many
non-english keymaps have '/' behind shift key (such as Finnish
keymap I'm using, has '/' behind 'Shift+7') so in such case it's
impossible to produce 'Ctrl+/' combination.

My suggestion would be to use some other key than '/' for more generic
accessibility. As example, my keyboard has all letters, numbers, function
keys  and characters §+'-.,< directly accessible without pushing shift or
other selector key.

do you know what the issues would be with making F1 the default key?  This 
already
maps to "help" in many programs, and should be standard across keyboards, right?

I think using the F1 key is a great idea!!

By the way, we can take this page as a reference for future key design.

I have tried to implement the F1 key. However, in IE8 both F1 and CTRL+F1 will 
invoke 
the help window of IE. It seems that they cannot be suppressed...
