Usage scenario: While dragging an element on the page, I would like to inspect other elements that get created during that action. These elements are destroyed on the mouseUp event, preventing me from being able to click on the 'pause' button in the inspector. It would be handy to be able to halt all script execution from a keyboard shortcut so that debugging interactions similar to this can be done more easily.

While I understand the use case, I'm not sure it warrants a global keybinding.
This scenario will be even easier to debug when web replay functionality lands- you can just capture the interaction, then replay it later with probes or breakpoints added.
