Description
As many users will be doing extensive work with this system on a daily basis it's important to have well thought out keyboard shortcuts to help smooth repetition of common tasks.
I came across an interesting library that leverages the tree structure implied by nested react components to provide contextual shortcuts and a consistent notion of 'focus':

https://github.com/Chrisui/react-hotkeys
That sounds quite promising but, as with so many aspects of this, it will require some consideration when breaking the system out into modules w/corresponding API.
On top of that, do we want to allow customisation of shortcuts? Per-user?
The simplest to manage are global shortcuts; these most likely are direct mappings to redux actions. Perhaps it's sufficient to have that flat mapping be configurable and leave everything more fine grained / context specific as an immutable default, subtle tweaks to help new components fit in with standard form elements as you tab through a form?
