I assume you mean the keymap.txt file? The problem I see is if we remapped the mouse capture key from Cmd-M to another keyboard combination is that another user who really wanted Cmd-M would not be able to use it. That is because, by enabling the SDL events to be passed to OS X, Cmd-M would minimize the window and the user would have no way to use that key combination to capture the mouse. Since I have heard almost no complaints about the non-functional keyboard equivalents in the File menu and people do use Cmd-M for mouse capture, right now the best answer seems to be to simply leave those equivalents as non-functional and remove them from the File menu so no one is confused.

Jerome, Cocoa Pod - Do you have any ideas on this?
