Have you tried the first option I suggested?
1. Save a copy of your template that has the keyboard bindings in it
2. Remove all the keyboard customisations from the template itself.
3. Load the copied template as an addin

Now go ahead and edit the docs and verify that the keyboard shortcuts work as expected. If this is working, disable the addin and verify the default key actions now happen. If that is as expected, all you need is a macro to toggle the addin either on or off.
