now that there a pretty decent support for detection of C-* charectors, i think it is high time we add support for detection of M-* characters

While detecting the C-* shortcuts, the first character after detecting an invalid shortcut must be detected as a part of the shortcut sequence and checked against the list fo available shortcuts. For example when the user types the following sequence of characters:

a s d f C-X b o y

the characters must be detected as

a s d f [C-X b] o y

and the [C-X b] shortcut must be acted upon. but when the user types the following sequence:

a s d f C-X C-B b o y

the characters must be detected as

a s d f [C-X C-B] b o y

and not

a s d f [C-X C-B b] o y

i.e., emacs must stop detection of the shortcut (and adding it to the minibuffer) once a valid shortcut sequence(in this case, C-X C-B) is detected.

Improve support for detection of C-W, C-T and such shortcuts which are also browser shortcuts. General shortcuts such as C-S, C-A are all detected by the script.. but shortcuts which involve browser tasks such as opening a new tab(C-T), closing the current browser window(C-W), opening a new window(C-N), etc are overridden by the browser. This will have to be captured and the default action must be prevented
