Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl + Alt + a not working on a Mac

Description
The Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl + Alt + a is not working on a Mac.
According to the codex https://codex.wordpress.org/Keyboard_Shortcuts and the built in Help screen, 'Ctrl + Alt + a' should insert/edit a link.
Instead, it removes any selected text. The 'old' keyboard shortcut (Shift + Alt + a) does work.
I have tried this on OS X El Capitan (10.11) and OS X Yosemite using Safari and Firefox browsers.

These shortcuts are defined in the wplink plugin: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.3.1/src/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wplink/plugin.js#L57. It needs updating similarly to the update for the shortcuts in the wordpress plugin.

Well done @azaozz. And many thanks to @kraftbj for suggesting a fix to encourage a first patch attempt. I will need to work faster next time. ;) The WordPress community rocks. :)
Touched base with @ifingers via Slack. My first look appears that the shortcut ctrl+alt+a isn't defined in wordpress/plugins.js, but deferring to ifingers for a first patch attempt and testing.
