We use Mac OS X 10.1 for all our java development. OS X is unix-based, 
and we run Resin, MySQL and Apache on the development machines (the same 
as our deployment servers). Apple has Java 1.3 built into the operating 
system out of the box.

What I would like to see is IntelliJ support the key mappings on the 
Mac. Traditional Mac applications use the command key instead of the 
control key. If I change the mappings to use the command key, they do 
not work. For some reason, IDEA is adding an illegal character to my 
code when I press the command key first. So, if I press command-s to 
save the files, I get an illegal character first, then it saves. End 
result is my code will not compile because of the character.

So, for the growing number of Mac Java developers, please support the 
Mac command key.

I know it can be done, we also have the JBuilder 5 for Mac OS preview, 
and they support the standard Mac keys. They also packaged JBuilder as 
an application (complete with icon) that can be launched without have to 
open a command-line terminal and running the shell script.

Having used both, I definitely prefer IDEA.

Keep up the good work.
