Some low prio wishes to make ForeUI feel more OSX-compatible.

I love ForeUI, but as an OSX user I constantly walk into things that feel “not right” in the interface. Just a list of things that I walk into is:

Keyboard shortcuts:

Those are the most “annoying” because you press a button expecting something to happen, and then nothing or something unexpected happens. On OSX, Cmd-W is the normal shortcut for closing a window. I would expect it to close the current plot. Instead, it starts a slideshow. A more logical choice would be Alt-Cmd-Y (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343). There are more suspicious keyboard shortcuts, like Cmd-Y for redo, which I would expect to be Shift-Cmd-Z. “Save as…” is Shift-Cmd-S. The exit menu option would normally be called “Quit ForeUI” and has shortcut Cmd-Q. I guess it would need some research to get the complete list.

The preferences can currently be set in a dialog called “Preferences…” below the “Advanced” menu now. On OSX, the standard is to do that in a menu option called “Preferences…” below the application menu (ForeUI) with shortcut key Cmd-,

The “About ForeUI” option is normally the first option below the application menu, not a separate menu.

“Check for update…” is normally also located below the application menu I think, although I’m not sure if that’s like a “written rule”.

The help menu is normally the last one.

Oh, and bonus remark and having nothing to do, if you check for updates you get the message “Your software is up to date, you can check latter :-)”. It’s “later”, not latter.
