The QML Shortcut type was introduced in Qt 5.5, and the stable vivid
overlay has Qt 5.4.1 (and according to Timo a full upgrade to 5.5 in the
stable vivid overlay PPA is not planned).

That leaves us with the option of exposing QShortcut to QML in the
browser.

Bug description:
  On a phone with a bluetooth keyboard connected, with the following
  standalone example, if I press Ctrl+T I expect the message "Ctrl+T
  pressed" to be printed on the console, but instead the Ctrl key is
  ignored and "t" is inserted in the text field.

  import QtQuick 2.4
  Item {
    TextInput {
      anchors.centerIn: parent
      width: parent.width - 20
      height: 100
      Component.onCompleted: forceActiveFocus()
    }
    Keys.onPressed: {
      console.log("key pressed:", event.key, event.modifiers)
      if (event.key == Qt.Key_T && event.modifiers == Qt.ControlModifier) {
        console.log("Ctrl+T pressed")
        event.accepted = true
      }
    }
  }

  =========================================================================

  See the discussion on https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/147556/,
  Qt's behaviour is correct here.

  QShortcut [1], or QML's Shortcut [2] from qt-5.5 should be used for
  this instead.
