Our analysis
AI-assistedSave with Keyboard is a WordPress plugin that allows you to save posts, pages, theme and plugin files, widgets, and menus using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac). It is designed to streamline the saving process, preventing the common issue of web browsers attempting to save entire web pages instead of just the content you want to save.
The plugin works by loading a small Javascript file that detects save buttons on admin pages. It can save unpublished posts and update already published content, and it also provides tooltips for buttons that can be activated with the keyboard shortcut.
Best for: This plugin suits users who frequently create or edit content in WordPress and prefer keyboard shortcuts.

From the developer
Mattia Trapani's own description of Save with keyboard, lightly tidied.
This plugin lets you save your posts, pages, theme and plugin files, widgets, menus, etc. in the most natural way: pressing Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac).
I’ve coded this plugin because I was tired of pressing Cmd+S and then realize Chrome was trying to save the whole webpage
After coding this up, I’ve found in the plugin directory two plugins that did the same thing, but each one had some flaws that convinced me to publish mine.
This plugin loads a small Javascript file (minified if not WP_DEBUG). The Javascript checks the contents of any admin page for save buttons.
It is also so smart that saves as draft unpublished posts/pages and updates the ones that are already public.
Also adds a little tooltip on the buttons that can be “clicked” with Ctrl+S or Cmd+S.
