Re: [Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41337] Cannot retrieve command history from keyboard

[Michael C. Grant]

My personal view is that the first priority should be to mimic standard or 
de-facto default Mac behavior. (I would say the same for Windows, in fact.) 
Second priority should be consistency across platforms. 

*Roughly* speaking, swapping CTRL and CMD goes a long way towards achieving 
Mac-friendly behavior.
