Re: Setting Key Equiv. to a menu item without cmd key

IIRC you _need_ to use at least the NSCommandKeyMask in order for the
keyboard shortcut to be processed for the items in the main menu. In
other words, you cannot have a menu item using only the
NSControlKeyMask, or no modifier key mask, in Cocoa applications.
I could be wrong, but I think that this is the current state of affairs.
