Current limitations:
- We cannot currently use the Ctrl-` shortcut to toggle back from HTML source code view to WYSIWYG view.
- There are no shortcuts for table operations (only available in fullscreen editor mode). These are not keyboard-friendly anyway as they depend on mouse usage for the selection of table cells to operate on.
