To reiterate, in macosx, those commands use the Command key (also
called the `clover key' in older macos versions) instead of Control.
It's next to the space bar, and labelled both `command' and ⌘. On
macosx, Emacs already uses these key combinations, as Jan mentioned.

I'll admit that I was tempted to say this before, but decided that
internet communication, Windows- versus macosx- versus unix-habits,
first-language differences, and a general desire to assume the
better rather than worse in the community changed my mind.

I hope that helps,
