Public bug reported:

It has been decided that the Mahara character short keys will be removed
from the code.  Often, the key mapping short cuts may interfere with
assistive technologies rather than offer more convenience especially if
a person cannot re-map the keys to those of their own choosing.

The requirement for WCAG2.1 A 2.1.4 Character Shortcuts (if present) is
a new addition but we will not be implementing the support needed to
keep compliance for this feature and will thus remove it.

The key mappings can be found here:
/js/keyboardNavigation.js with reference to the file in /lib/web.php.  Please remove this feature and clean up any references to it.
