Hello,

I added a new Mac OS X Scheme. I thinked a lot about how to name it,
and I decided to rename the existing Mac OS X Scheme to: Mac OS X
(Apple style)

And the new one is: Mac OS X (Lazarus style)

The names may change if other developers have a better name.

The idea is to be confortable for people using Lazarus in several
operating systems. Particularly I was going crazy because home/end
goes to end of line in Windows and Linux but end of file in Mac, which
makes me loose where I was before.

In the moment this is the only difference with the standard Mac OS X
style. This is documented here:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_IDE_Shortcuts

Not everything should be the same as on Windows, like using Command+C
instead of Ctrl+C should be kept, so one needs to exercise good sense
when choosing what should go into this new scheme and what not. One
guideline might be OpenOffice. It uses some Apple keys but not all. I
beliave they were also trying to improve the experience of users
comming from other operating systems.

I commited in rev 16514

thanks,

PS: Posted to general instead of devel because I feel this is useful
information for many people
