True. But it would still eliminate all CMD+cursor commands like in
Mail or Vision.

Exactly. That's why CMD+cursor should remain issuing these
back/forward commands and CTRL+cursor doing the cursor navigation.

While that may be true in case of the mentioned browser, there's still
the risk of unintentionally losing focus. Apps like Mail will always
have that issue.

Well, one could see CMD+C/V/X still as being commands to the app that
interact with the system's clipboard...
