I'm somewhat biased, but you should consider using a crash monitoring tool like Bugsnag (https://bugsnag.com) to help you find and fix the bugs :)

Have you spent any time working out the total market size for your app? Doing some basic modeling might help you make your decision!

You could trivially restructure the code to factor out global page actions into an object, like this:

    // Make a global page actions object
    PageActions = {
      selectAll: function (event, context) {...},
      nextPage: function (event, context) {...},
      prevPage: function (event, context) {...},
    };

    // Hook up clicks to global actions
    // Eg: <a href="#" data-action="selectAll">All</a>
    $("[data-action]").click(function () {
      var action = $(this).data("action");
      PageActions.selectAll("click", this);
    });

    // Hook up keypresses to global actions
    Mousetrap.bind("a", function () {
      PageActions.selectAll("keypress", this);
    });

This would help with code structure and organization, at the cost of flexibility.

This is actually a really good point, I've seen many sites take the approach of adding keyboard shortcuts but avoiding the main "default" actions, (eg. space bar, up, down).
