Hi, Graham

I believe most of the almost all of our key combinations are set in  
menu.py:

http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/chandler/parcels/osaf/views/main/menus.py

In particular, if you search for "accel" in that file, you'll see  
where key combinations are set. (Note that these are as specified in  
wxPython: "Ctrl+A" will get mapped on the Mac to Apple+A (no shift).  
Mostly, though, if you want to help, maybe you could suggest a new set  
of key combinations that makes sense on all platforms ... So far as I  
remember, it's hard to override Chandler's event dispatch mechanism so  
that thos arrow-key combinations would work correctly in all cases.
