Description

Key commands should be able to vary based on language/locale and platform. E.g. toggling something as Bold could be:

Ctrl + b (Windows, English)
Cmd + b (Mac OS X, English)
Meta + b (Solaris, English)

Ctrl + f (Windows, German)
Cmd + f (Mac OS X, German)
Meta + f (Solaris, German)

... etc.
