I think it's a real question whether it's better to have Pd act similarly across all platforms or whether it's best to adapt key bindings, etc., to specific ones. Certainly the first solution makes long-term maintainabilty (a high priority for me) easier.
I'm for sensible Pd-specific default shortcuts plus - in the longer term - user-configurable shortcuts. Imagine if Emacs or Vi would follow MS-Windows-guidelines ...
good point
probably this doesn't apply to everyone, but i find myself often in situations, where i explain pd to people and everyone is running it on a different operating system. it even happens, that i am working on the same project on different computers with different operating systems simultaneously. also i believe, that learning specific shortcuts is one of the rather small culprits when learning pd.
my vote goes clearly for same behaviour of pd over all platforms.
