Hey all,

This is my first post here, hopefully I'm not doing anything stupid ;) I use gitk on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X. I'm big on having apps feel native on each platform. Currently gitk's key bindings are very GNU/Linux-ish when using gitk on Mac OS X. I'd like to submit a patch to make gitk use native-style key bindings and re- use common key bindings. F-keys are really rarely used on Mac OS X, so it drives me a little nuts using them in gitk/Mac OS X.

Before starting this, I just wanted to make sure this isn't some hotly debated political issue.
