This is addressed in the keyboard mapper in Java
action code that instead of Ctrl uses a cross-platform
modifier. Same for menu.

  int ACCL = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask();

  menu.add(new AbstractAction("Reset") {
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     ...
   }
  }).setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_R, ACCL));

Not all combinations should be cross-platform -- 
only system-wide like Copy, Paste, New, Open, etc.
Ctrl+W should stay Ctrl+W, because Command-W is
close window, which would be good to wire somehow too,
as an equivalent of Alt-F4.

This is common to any environment. In shell terminal
you end up with unintended execution.

This could be done with a new action: Menu-Run-Clipboard (Display)
with a key like Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V.

Alternatively, you open a new script window paste there
and execute line-by-line or the whole window.
