Hi,

Just to say that:

(a) On Mac OS X it is Command+* instead of Ctrl+* (but you knew that).
(b) Ctrl+Shift+Z was just one of many such changes.
(c) The GUI should match the platform's guidelines, where this is
reasonable.
(d) No way in [insert netherworld of choice] am I changing these back...

Ciao, Frank

ps. I go away for a day or two and see what happens?
