RE: Shortcut keys do not work in applet with Safari.

Because Apple have decided that Safari's shortcuts override the applet's
even if the applet has focus.  *Please* file a bug report about this it
is incredibly annoying for users but Apple considers it the correctly
behavior.  Only a deluge of bug reports about it from developers will
help change that.

For the record, the decision means that you cannot copy and paste within
swing applets (AWT applets have a specific hack for copy and paste
shortcuts) without the developer specifically coding it (ie: providing a
button or mapping the copy/paste actions to use control instead of
command).  It's incredibly frustrating for users.

Adrian Sutton.
