Might as well standardize on what's already a de facto standard elsewhere, to avoid throwing away people's muscle memory.
  
  
  The muscle memory for Mac users isn't preserved, as the keystroke there is command-, not control, and command physically corresponds to Alt. So this only gets us a relatively new Windows shortcut, on top of the legacy CUA system. I have no idea whether Windows still follows CUA or not.

  As we're a CUA-derived UI, we already have a keyboard shortcut for Configure Shortcuts: Alt-s Alt-h. Same for Configure $app: Alt-s Alt-c
  
  While I do find switching back and forth between Mac and CUA intermittently frustrating, we really can't easily implement the same suite of keystrokes as Mac because of the Alt combinations being reserved for menus.
