Why are keystrokes like Ctrl+A and Ctrl+S not being recorded?

Keystrokes (such as Ctrl+S) are captured and consumed by a global key event handler to which there is no easy access. As a result these events go unrecognized by the recorder. See “How can I simulate keyboard events” for examples on how keystrokes can be manually added to the test script.
