16158	Enhance keyboard consistency on OS-X / Mac OS	dieterdreist	team	"I know this is a topic which already was discussed some years ago, but the current situation is really confusing for every mac user, because of the strange keyboard implementation.

Usually on a mac there are 2 possibilities when using software: the author has taken special care for mac users and the Command ⌘ key is mapped to mac standards (e.g. ⌘+c for copy), or they haven't and you will use the CTRL key. 
The strange behaviour of JOSM is that some actions are mapped to command, e.g. copy an object is ⌘+c, paste tags is ⌘+SHIFT+v, undo is ⌘+z, and most key combinations (according to the preferences it is all custom combinations), but unfortunately there are still a few which aren't:

For example to copy text in forms, like tag values, you must use CTRL+c, to cut CTRL+x, to paste text CTRL+v, to select all text CTRL+a, to rotate objects CTRL+SHIFT, to scale CTRL+ALT, and maybe there are some more.

This mixed behaviour, especially the CTRL+c to copy text is extremely unusual and even after many years of intensive JOSM use still hits me from time to time."	enhancement	new	normal		Core	latest		CTRL, command, key, osx,mac,keyboard
