The keyboard accelerators seem to work on Linux and Windows also, so they will be in the 1.11 release candidate as of tomorrow. —Eric

Hi Jakob, It seems very reasonable that Chimera should react to these standard keyboard shortcuts in a standard fashion. I have added code to handle Command-o,s,S, and q (Control instead of Command on non-Macs). It will be in tomorrow’s daily build. I’ve tested on a mac, and if my testing of tomorrow’s daily build on non-Macs goes well, then I will put the code in the 1.11 release candidate as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Dear all,
It's perplexing for newbie users that Chimera does not react to the basic keyboard shortcuts that are used across all OS applications like Cmd+S, Cmd+O, Cmd+W.
Is it possible with Chimera to use those? If not, it should be enabled. I'm aware that there are special 2-letter Chimera shortcuts (http://bit.ly/1Xr5uA4 <http://bit.ly/1Xr5uA4>) but they are more confusing for beginners and therefore also disabled by default.
We see a lot of user errors like saving the session with Cmd+S, then quitting Chimera with Cmd+Q (the only standard shortcut available, I believe) and then asking why their session info has not been saved. Included standard shortcuts as a feature in one of the next releases seems like a small thing with a lot of benefit.
All the best,
Jakob
