1. keybinding support in javascript is pretty spotty. It doesn't work at all 
under unix.

2. Having a page load just because you hit a key could be pretty disturbing 
behavior. And it wouldn't approach the response time that users expect from 
keyboard shortcuts. It sounds like your friend just shouldn't be using webmail.
