Available Keyboard Shortcuts for Web Applications


I'm working on a web application and I'd like to add some keyboard shortcuts. Things like Ctrl-N, or Ctrl-Space. However, I do not want to use a keyboard shortcut that's already used by the browser.

For example, using the Ctrl-Space shortcut in Google Chrome on OS X is fine, but in Firefox on OS X it brings up a right-click menu in the browser.

Is there a known list of cross browser/OS keyboard shortcuts that are safe (or unsafe) to use for web applications?

    Separate browser's shortcuts lists:

    And I find this comparison table ugly, but very useful.
