Ctrl-up/down conflict with native OS X shortcuts

[samuela]

For those of us with computers of the fruit persuasion, it's not possible to move through the interaction history with the Ctrl-up and Ctrl-down keyboard shortcuts. A slightly modified shortcut (Ctrl-Alt-up/down, for example) would work on both Macs and PCs.

How about Ctrl-p Ctrl-n for up/down? That matches some editors/shells, so it will pleasantly surprise some.

For now you could try disabling your keyboard shortcuts via the control panel. Most of the newer OS X laptops have a mission control/launchpad button on the keyboard anyway.

Never mind, Ctrl-N is unstoppable in Chrome, it always opens a new window ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7295508/javascript-capture-browser-shortcuts-ctrlt-n-w ).

I'll do Ctrl-Alt-Up and Ctrl-Alt-Down, which will amusingly conflict with some Gnome defaults in a similar way (move workspace up/down). So there should be something for everyone.

I pushed this to the main site. Closed by db081a3bc5ea9f2174e9a54e077886ebf2200227, sorry for the delay.
