The Cmd-C issue may well be a wxWidgets bug, but it is still an issue for kicad users. There are many such issues in kicad where OS X specific issues must be worked around.
As for the window manager capturing the functions keys, yes, that is what I said. The fact that F10 was skipped for canvas switching means that kicad is catering to a specific platform. I’m not likely to switch window managers on OS X, nor are other OS X users. Yes we could remap our keys but why should we? This should work out of the box.
