I love this concept: "There's also a slew of other shortcut keys you can use, depending on the page- just hit ? to see them." Please, let this become a standard for every website, that '?' brings up a list of shortcut keys. Edit: It works in Gmail!
And Google news, docs, calendar. Not the Google search pages though, since key presses are intercepted by the search bar.

Personally, I dislike websites that try to grab my keys. I use pentadactyl/vrome, so if the website just lists everything I need to do there as a normal hyperlink, I need only hit f+number and I'm good to go. That isn't to say that it isn't innovative or cool. It's just not up my alley. I like to let local applications manage the keyboard.

However, I don't think that this should be solved at a website level. Websites shouldn't know or care what keys do in your browser; they should simply provide reasonable shortcut keys. Browsers should make it so that their shortcut keys cannot be overridden without your explicit permission.
