For all the people out there who dislikes the standard keyboard shortcuts for some of the menu items in Cocoa applications; you know you could change those, don’t you?
Just fire up System Preferences, and go to the Keyboard & Mouse section. There, under the Keyboard Shortcuts tab item, press the “+” button at the bottom left of the list (see attached screenshot).
Now, just enter the correct details in the sheet that appears. Example:
Application: Safari
Menu Title: Select Previous Tab
Keyboard Shortcut: (place cursor inside text field and press the keyboard shortcut you want to bind to the menu item)
Viola! Happy re-binding!
