We can't use the Ctrl key to trigger access keys on Windows because this
conflicts with many common keyboard shortcuts.  For example, if the web site
sets an access key of "c" (as Wikipedia does), Windows users will still expect
Ctrl-C to copy, not to trigger the access key.

One way to fix this is to add a function hasAccessKeyModifiers to KeyboardEvent
whose implementation differs on different platforms.  The Mac version can
declare the KeyboardEvent to have the access key modifiers if the Ctrl key is
down and the Windows version can look for Alt + Shift.  I'd be happy to submit
a patch to this effect.
