Hi,

It would be helpful where possible if you can keep the dual keymapping 
(ie both mapping work at the same time) for reason campbell mentions.  
It would cause issues with books as well.  As they are often done on 
pc's, if mac have different mapping for fundamental features that is 
just going to cause confusion.
