Keyboard shortcuts do not work on macOS about mylibrelab HOT 7 OPEN

They work on Linux.

Also works for me on Windows 10. Does anyone on the project with time on their hands have access to a Mac? If not I could borrow one for a few hours from a family member to have a look.

The issue most likely comes from keybindings the likes of ctrl c being used while on mac they should be cmd c. Control and command are different keycodes in swing. We should introduce a factory method which based on the OS creates the appropriate KeyStroke instance.

It seems that the jdk already has a method for determining the correct accelerator key based on platform.

Oh nice. I had to deal with this problem in Java 8. Still trying to catch up with the various awt/swing apis introduced in newer versions.

We should probably take a look at the current shortcuts as well. Does ctrl+a make sense as a shortcut to start a new project for instance?

We absolutely should rethink the current shortcuts. When implementing #68 I‘ll add some sort of scaffold of the current available actions. Then we can have a better overview of what actions currently exist and discuss what shortcuts should link to which actions.
