 sane way to migrate to this split without lots of breakage and frustration. Any

+{{cquote|<nowiki>the problem is the OSs have already decreed that Ctrl (Command on Mac) is
+the standard shortcut key, so lots of Ctrl-something have standard meanings
+which FlightGear deviates from. Though we escape the worst of it since we don't
+support file or edit operations.
+Keep in mind if the GUI things such as dialogs were moved to Ctrl-blah, that
+frees up lots of normal keys for use, which are currently taken up by simulator
+things. While I agree Ctrl is probably the easiest modifier to access (except
+maybe shift, since there's two, so it's more friendly for left-handed people),
+I think by this logic a shortcut with *no* modifiers is even easier to access,
+and that's an argument in *favour* of such change :)</nowiki><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40853.html|title=<nowiki></nowiki>|author=<nowiki></nowiki>|date=<nowiki></nowiki>}}</ref>|<nowiki></nowiki>}}
