Description
I've grown accustomed to the Ctrl+S saving feature in Gmail and Google Docs and propose it as a feature available in the New Post page.
Once "Control + S" is hit on the keyboard, it can call the current autosave function.
jQuery Plugins:

Normal Javascript:
Change History (11)
- Component changed from General to Administration
- Keywords needs-patch added
- Version set to 2.7
- Keywords reporter-feedback added
- Milestone changed from 2.9 to Future Release
isn't this done in 2.8?

If it was done, it doesn't work ;)
It's a really bad idea. Ctrl +S is a common browser keyboard shortcut. In Opera, Firefox and others Ctrl +S triggers a "Save page as" dialog for saving a web page locally. Overriding browser behaviour can lead to undesired results and can have a huge impact on accessibility. (Screen readers such as JAWS also use Ctrl +S for saving local copies of pages). For this reason, many people find the Gmail hotkey unusable and confusing (it also doesn't work in all browsers - just another thing to consider!)
Hotkeys in WordPress would be very useful, but they need to be hotkeys that are not already in use by browsers and assistive devices.

Control + Shift + S is my vote.. (Mearly for the fact that it means "Send" in Opera email... :))
AFAIK, Only the comment moderation got the hotkeys? I'm not sure..
+1
Only comment moderation? Nopes, they work in posts (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I...) and will be very good to save drafts.
BTW, why not Ctrl+Shift+P (publish in Coda) for publish?
Nopes, they work in posts (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I...) and will be very good to save drafts.
Thats different.. And is a TinyMCE function, not something WordPress has implemented.

Extending the hotkeys for comment moderation to other areas of the WordPress admin would certainly be nice.. Control + S seems nice for autosave too.
