[SDL] Command key handling in Mac OS X

[Dominus]

Assigned shortcuts (System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts) and system standard shortcuts that can't be changed (CMD+ C/V/Z/H) are behaving difficult in Apps. Especially the system standard/basic ones. These can't be changed (without something like Better Touch Tool) and should be avoided for other uses.

Ah... That's a bit of a bummer as what I'm working on is exactly sort of an editor, which benefits from being able to use the same keys for the functionality that users are used to: CMD+C for copy, CMD+V for paste, etc.

Are there any lower level workarounds that can be used to circumvent this? I'm thinking that text editors like TextWrangler can of course use them, so the higher layer SDL operates on may be a limiting factor.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
