patrick 92ffa4f7c2 fix: forward app shortcuts pressed inside the book
Key events do not cross document boundaries, so shortcuts bound on the window
never fired while the book had focus and the browser default won instead —
ctrl+B opened bookmarks rather than the chapter sidebar. Replay them on the
window, cancelling the original only if a handler claimed it so ctrl+C still
copies.
