> Short: Control is for terminal, Command is for GUI – don't mix this Right. I prefer the Mac keyboard layout myself that has separate physical keys for these.
My complaint with the default binding applies only to people used to a keyboard layout lacking separate Command and Control keys, (i.e. all non-Mac users). The GNUstep default puts the Control function on the best matching physical key, Ctrl, and puts Command on a 'wrong' key (left alt). One can argue that this makes sense because Ctrl has an established meaning in the termainal and emacs. However, I would rather have Command on the best matching physical key (Ctrl) and Control on some other key, because the cost of having Command on the wrong key is higher for me than having Control on the wrong key. I hope I clarified that point of view - both options are equally 'bad' - they put an important modifier on the wrong physical key. The GS default favours the terminal key (Control) over the GUI key (Command), which I don't like. In the end this is a small detail since it's configurable. But I think "good defaults" are really important in any UI.
