    On Windows everything works as I expected. Seems that JEdit panel doesn't
    handle Mac keys well. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to fix that
    properly because I don't have Mac (or we'll follow the way we used in other
    issue when I commit changes and someone else with Mac is to check them).

    A new feature that would also be nice is an "undo" option, at least for

    "Undo" was a SoC task I didn't finish. Probably it will be done next summer,
    eh? :)
