On Windows everything works as I expected. Seems that JEdit panel doesn't
handle Mac keys well. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to fix  that
properly because I don't have Mac (or we'll follow the way we used in other
issue when I commit changes and someone else with Mac is to check them).

A new feature that would also be nice is an "undo" option, at least for

"Undo" was a SoC task I didn't finish. Probably it will be done next summer,
eh? :)
