Mac Keyboard Shortcuts

[cbk1994]

Keyboard shortcuts on Mac do not work very well ... some don't work at all (CMD + A), some work some of the time such as copy and paste, and for some reason CTRL + KEY works perfectly.

The CTRL stuff should be removed, since that's Windows, and then fix the existing stuff.

The shortcuts are pratically identical between Graal on Linux, Mac and Windows. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing though - I prefer being able to go to the start of the line by pressing the "home" key, although there are probably similar shortcuts for that on Mac.

Yes but things like CTRL + C should not work on Mac ... one of the thing Mac applications usually have in common is consistency, and it's nice to have the same commands. Also, COMMAND + W should close external windows, but it does nothing except type a W.

When using CMD + Q to quit an application (say Safari), once that quits it will put Graal to focus, and Graal detects that and quits. I think Graal has some kind of generic detection rather than the default system since other applications do not do this.

EDIT: Mac keyboards don't even have a home button (at least the notebooks). It's CMD + LEFT to go home, CMD + RIGHT to go to end, which is actually more intuitive in my opinion.

This is still very annoying; copy/pasting from a Mac text field (e.g. TextEdit, Safari) removes all line breaks.

It's impossible to copy/paste into the scripted RC (even in new version, or maybe only in new version?) because it removes the line breaks, and adds funny symbols.

CTRL+C, etc shouldn't even work in the Mac version for Graal. It makes the application seem totally un-Mac(ish).
