Sorry I didn't explain myself - I was just using the Bookmark as an example - I was thinking of all the others as well - why should copy/paste/new tab have shift?
THe reason we had to add SHIFT in the beginning was to past the non-SHIFT keystrokes to the terminal.

This is the likely reason why Qt has swapped Qt::CTRL and Qt::META by default on that platform, but Konsole deactivates that feature. As a result, shortcuts are identical to what they are on other platforms, but not in line with what's standard on OS X.

There is an added benefit of not using the Control key for shortcuts: `Copy` can be the usual `Command-C` instead of `Ctrl-Shift-C` on other platforms; idem for the `Paste` shortcut. I've adapted the shortcuts of a few other actions to the key combinations OS X uses for those actions.
