Okay--I've uploaded a document with some Mac translations here: http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/impress3/ig3.2-drafts/Mac%20translations.odt/view
Caveats!! The more I got into this, the more I felt it was a bigger task than I'd expected. Initially it just looked like it was mostly translating "control" to "command," but there are enough random alts and shifts thrown in that I had to second-guess everything. Additionally, there were some keystokes (especially in the Appendix A list) for which I simply couldn't find a Mac equivalent. Which is not to say one doesn't exist... but I just haven't found them yet. (Example: ctrl-F8 to get rid of grey shading in a field.) I just threw them into the table and they're probably not in the best order, and some descriptions may need to be reworded--Jean, I apologize for leaving you with some cleanup on these. I wanted to make sure I got the actual data to you tonight, but it's been a long day and my eyes don't want to look at a computer anymore. I would like to take a more prolonged swipe at this when I have more time, because I'm certain I missed some. I have to catch a plane early tomorrow morning, and that's my excuse for not staying up til midnight on this. :-) Finally, I did notice that there's some discrepancy among the chapters as to the use of the word "Control" versus abbreviation "Ctrl" when listing keystrokes. Not a huge deal but it would be an easy thing to clean up.
