Hi!

I’ve finally put together a draft proposal.

My proposal is centered around @tom’s existing package [django-admin-keyboard-shortcuts](https://github.com/knyghty/django-admin-keyboard-shortcuts/) and bringing it into core while building a command palette on top.  
[https://gist.github.com/khanxmetu/367d2980e5c8ce1b1ba8ed7cf642e2a8](https://gist.github.com/khanxmetu/367d2980e5c8ce1b1ba8ed7cf642e2a8)

Any feedback from the admin and accessibility folks is really appreciated 🙏
