The ability to re-bind any keyboard or mouse shortcuts is major accessibility issue that I think needs more attention (connect.mozilla.org)

things like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are not in convenient places

Huh, I hunt-and-peck Qwerty and touch-type Dvorak and that has never bothered me. I can know where C and V are, and I just press them.

I don't game much though, and could see the issue if WASD are scattered all over like they are in Dvorak and can't be remapped.

Yup, I've run into some games where WASD and the like are scattered on Dvorak. What's worse is occasionally it's inconsistent, and they use key codes for some things and letters for others. I've even had cases where they somehow read the primary keyboard and I had to reorder my keyboards in the settings for the game to work properly.

Bigger budget, newer games are usually more consistent, but all bets are off with older games.
