Vic, I think you missed a key line in my original email. To be fair, it was parenthesised. On Mac, the relevant (system-wide, universally-accepted) modifier for the kind of shortcuts I'm discussing, it NOT *Ctrl* - it's the 'Command' key, formerly know as the 'Apple' key. I can take a strong bet you don't have lots of custom bindings on your Mac for 'Cmd-Q, Cmd-C, Cmd-Z' because you would find it quite hard to quit, copy or undo in 90% of applications you use, using the keyboard. The Ctrl key-binding space on Linux / Windows, and the equivalent Cmd/Apple space on Mac, are assumed by pretty much everybody to drive application specific shortcuts for GUI items - what I'm proposing would be to attempt to align FlightGear with that behaviour.
