All,
We also added a set of keyboard shortcuts for setting the block formatting: Ctrl+0 sets a block as a paragraph; Ctrl+1 up to Ctrl+6 sets it as a Heading 1 ("Page title") to Heading 6 ("Sub-heading 4"); Ctrl+7 sets it as pre-formatted (bug 33512https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33512). The help/'beta' menu now exposes the build number next to the "Leave feedback" link, so users can give better reports about issues they encounter (bug 53050https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53050 ).
Here it is! I have some characters assigned to the third layer (via Ctrl+Alt/AltGr), and they conflict with the new keyboard shortcuts. It's very very annoying and makes VE almost unusable. Is there a way to distinguish Ctrl and Ctrl+Alt?
If you have any questions, please do ask.
Yours,

Oh, I'm sorry about that. :-(

Yes, VisualEditor only binds to a (limited) number of shortcuts. I believe we don't bind to Ctrl+Alt+… at all - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Portal/Keyboard_shortcuts.
(Take this to Bugzilla so we can diagnose and fix?)

That's probably going to be annoying if I ever accidentally do Ctrl+<plus> or Ctrl+<minus> or Ctrl+<mouse scroll wheel> when using VE, since Ctrl+0 is Firefox's shortcut for resetting the text zoom level.
And on Mac OS X, ctrl+1,2,3,4 etc the hotkeys for desktop spaces. But in general, problems like this are hard to avoid I think. As long as I have a quick way 'out' of the editable context that is grabbing these keys, i won't really mind.

Oh actually, seems that the OS overrides Safari etc here and won't even allow you to intercept ctrl+1,2,3,4 for your own purposes here.
