Almost the same on Mac, even using the IDE, sometimes you Command+S
and nothing happens, but then you select the same option from the
Menu Bar and it works!
Drives me mad, but there really is a problem with keyboard shortcuts.

that's still doesn't explain why you can't:
- copy from a stack with no menubar and when the revmenubar is there
- use the script editors menu shortcuts when you are in the script editor
- why copy wont work with control-c or control-ins - there's only one
stack...
- why other rev shortcuts work when the revmenu doesn't (there's a
backscript called revshortcuts but it doesn't help)
- why it's not enough to activate a window with a menubar but you actually
have to click in the menu to make it listen to your shortkeys (script editor
eg)
sorry, but I got the hardened fingers to prove this anyway you want...
Is this working wrong only on PCs maybe again?

Exactly, and that is how it should work. If I have a custom menu bar and I
have disabled or omitted the "copy" command, that means I do not want to
allow copying. It would be a bug if copying was active in this case.
Control/command key shortcuts are intended to initiate menu functions.
If you want the ability to use them, then include those functions in your
menus. I don't see any bug here.
HyperCard was different because it had no "real" menus. They were all
simulated, and all keystrokes eventually made their way to the engine if
they were not trapped. This made HyperCard standalones behave differently
than other applications. Revolution's implementation is more consistent and
allows stack authors to script reliable menu behavior.
