Good.

Yes, alas, we only have two keys for that on Mac: control and command. 
Then we can use escape in some  circumstances, provided that the system 
does not use it for system-wide shortcuts. As for function keys, they 
are not accessible on laptops, i.e. to emulate then, you need a 
combination of alt, control, etc.... Well, were are the poor parents 
here. It seems that Apple thinks the world is limited to US.

What works, is the key bindings as in emacs. For example, I use Esc, 
Esc to access alt as a command, and Esc, Esc, Esc to emulate Meta 
(there is no Meta key on the Mac).

No alt + key is accessible except for special character Alt-u-a gives 
me plain ua and Alt-u-o gives the degree sign followed by the oe sign 
(the one where o and e are kerned together).

Yes, you're right I've just read that in the reference. Anyway control 
accelerator keys have never worked on Mac, so don't bother with it. I 
think it's a Windows feature.

So you have to distinguish this feature: an underligned letter which is 
always triggered by alt combination and a key combination in the menu 
after the label. See in bluefish, there are both and not the same. You 
can use any shift-control-command and meta (for those of us, Mac users, 
who have a 3 button mouse, by default it is a one button mouse). But 
most Mac users who practice the command line have this kind of mouse, 
and then also ctrl Functions key, not Functions keys alone, as the most 
are reserved by the system, and then it will work only for users who 
don't have a laptop.

As the range of accelerator keys in cssed is limited, I think you can 
do it just with shift control or shift command.

And no need to change the po files, let the Windows accelerator keys in 
place. This way you don't change your habitq, but the Mac users with 
non English keyboard (they exist yes: -) will benefit accelerator keys.

Oh; chocking :-)

Yes, but I cannot find it for sure. Here it is:
