[josm-dev] JOSM and OSX - Big changes in the pipeline

[Shaun McDonald]

jEdit adds some extra functionality for Mac users through a plugin.  
You may want to look into that.

I have a package that sorts the menu bar, without any JOSM code changes.

The command+Q for quiting, needs to be sorted.

They also do the configurable keyboard shortcuts for each OS. Are the  
keyboard shortcuts in JOSM configurable, through a config file? If not  
how easy would it be to implement?
