[etoys-notify] [JIRA] Commented: (SQ-304) Etoys does not use platform standards for cut/copy/paste

Bert Freudenberg commented on SQ-304:
-------------------------------------

Why would that not be desirable? Ctrl-C is the standard for both Windows and Linux. Experienced developers can switch it all they like, but IMHO we should default to the platform convention. It's been far too long we've been violating them.
