[Eric Pettersen]

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

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.
