Add keyboard shortcuts / bindings to main style functions

Description

Author: raphael.droz

Description:
Would be great to avoid mouse moves in order to style a text.
You often type a lot then style the some parts later.

Having key-bindings like Alt-Shift-B, Alt-Shift-I (or whatever) to style a word (or a mouse-selected region) as bold or italic is really convenient.

Generally spoken, we shouldn't do that BECAUSE of accessibility: Keyboard shortcuts like these can have inconvenient side effects, for example on screen readers (which use a lot of keyboard shortcuts).

If one really wants such a feature, it can be implemented easily in a gadget which people can activate if they desire to.
