Keywords: keyboard equivalents, proposed standard
Summary: 

Joel, with all due respect to the work you did in researching current command
key equivalents,  remember that the main word in User Interface is USER.
When I get serious about running an application, one of the first things I do
is get out my trusty ResEdit and set the control keys the way *I* want them.
And sometimes I don't stop there.  Where dialogs show up is fair game.  Icons
are definitely an item to enhance.  And a lot can be done with string
resources.  The bottom line; where control A is initially means very little,
I will eventually put it where I want it.
