Let's keep it as a separate file for now, and not part of the source
tree or any patches.

I notice that it's missing much of what I wanted to collect though, e.g.

Ctrl+Space - Autocomplete(?)
Cut
Copy
Paste
Select All
...

The other CodeMirror keys can be found at
https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#keymaps. Please add at least
the basic editting commands.

Good.

You've already found one inconsistency - Cmd vs. Ctrl on Mac browsers
vs. the runtime. It should be Cmd in either UI, to avoid user
confusion.

Yeah - see also some of the comments I made on
https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/1360

Let's figure out what's wrong first, then come up with a set of
fixes/changes that will get us to a consistent set of keys that work
as per the list you're preparing.
