You can fix this for yourself with
Edit|Configure|Shortcuts|Ctrl+Q|Modify. You could set it to none or
to an unused one. There aren't many available (H I U (curious that)
and some function keys).
We could provide a different one for a default mac install, but I
hesitate to guess what it should be and welcome suggestions.
OS X applications (the main menu bar items) takes
<cmd>h and <cmd><alt>h as well as <cmd>q and <cmd><shift>q
I think those are the only ones that all application
bundles use. By the way, having the JW menu on the ijs etc.
pane instead of the main menu bar is "non-standard" and
not as pretty as if the menu items were on the main bar and
had effect on which ever pane was in keyboard focus. This
standard/common Mac convention, quite unusual to have
menu items on application panes.
I don't feel the need to fix/add a <cmd> shortcut for
Window >> Form and I don't have a ready suggestion for
which of the few letters left would be most appropriate,
Oleg makes good points about this (and I should have
included <cmd>w in my "bug report").
