This sounds like a candidate for a freedesktop.org standard/recommendation
(if it isn't already). 

One application that really annoys me with the non standard key bindings is
Gnome Terminal with the Ctr+Shift+[xcv] options altough I can see why
they're like this due to the app running in the term session possibly using
the ctrl+ options.
