Hi all

I'm trying help out Rob McMullen get his "Peppy" editor working well on
OS-X. I'm thinking about about key bindings.

There are some apps that have sets of keyboard shortcuts and let you switch between them with a preference. This is very handy, because now a Mac user of application X can chose whether s/he wants Mac- oriented shortcuts (so find will be command-F, for example) and another user of X on the Mac who happens to be familiar with the Windows version of X can chose Windows-X-compatible shortcuts (so find would be F3, probably).

I don't like customizable keyboard shortcuts in general (this is what makes it impossible to type anything in someone else's Emacs, for example), but in this one case I think it's definitely worth it.
