Woah, woah, woah!
Are you proposing patching upstream sources so all games use same
keyboard controls for "simple stuff"? I think that would go a bit TOO
DEEP with messing with the sources. Filesystem-related patching?
Great! Security patches? Ditto! But messing up with controls? Sorry,
that should be upstream's domain only.
What if e,g. f11 is decided for fullscreen? But, a new game storms in
with f11 assigned to, dunno, 3rd person view? Do you reassign binding
or do you change the "distro-wide standard"?
What if game, by design, can't pause or switch to fullscreen during runtime?
I'm no DD so I have no vote, but I think it's a bad idea. (nothing personal ofc)

Cross-distro standard? Best to poke upstreams after making one :)
