Some time back I was adding support for a hotkey combination for something or other, and when it came to the Mac there were several key combinations (based on national keyboard) that other applications supported for similar funtions. However we decided that certain of these combinations are only useful if the user were an octopus. We decided not to implement those key combinations because we didn't think many octopuses used SeaMonkey.
