Hey all,

This is my first post here, hopefully I'm not doing anything stupid
;) I use gitk on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X. I'm big on having apps
feel native on each platform. Currently gitk's key bindings are very
GNU/Linux-ish when using gitk on Mac OS X. I'd like to submit a patch
to make gitk use native-style key bindings and re-use common key
bindings.

So long as the patch lets the original keys work (ie, people who are
used to them as they are now aren't suddenly hit by a nasty surprise),
I think it's a great idea.

Before starting this, I just wanted to make sure this isn't some
hotly debated political issue.


It will be if the old keys stop working or all of a sudden do something
different. Especially if the new thing it does isn't exactly harmless
but the old thing was.


I think that's a good idea. The only problem is Cmd-F5 (i.e. Reload) is already globally claimed in Mac OS X to turn on the accessibility voiceover reader. So all you get is a robot voice reading your GUI to you. This could be Ctrl-F5 instead, then it'd be the same as on GNU/ Linux.
