mediawiki - assign Ctrl-S to save page (edit mode)

Question

Mediawiki:

I'd like to change the key combination alt-shift-s to be ctrl-s for saving a page that is currently being edited.

Note that Alt+Shift+S is the browser's default implementation for the accesskey attribute on elements. Also Alt+Shift is what Firefox makes of it, IE uses just Alt. So generally, you'll need to do that by other means than it is done now.
Google Docs lets me use Ctrl-S -- That's what I'm after. Any tips? Thanks for your time

If you have knowledge on JavaScript, you could look into something like http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/126/how-to-create-ctrl-key-shortcuts-in-javascript/ or http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/ as a starting point. (If you'd like you could do a Google search for javascript detect ctrl-s)

From there you could do something like simulate a click event on the save button.
