	There's no app that uses the same shortcuts in all OSs because that's just stupid (amongst other reasons, because the shortcuts would conflict with the OS's own shortcuts, just to mention one obvious reason). You need to default to the OS's defaults, and maybe have an option to try using another OS's defaults (like other IDEs do).

Kate not just uses the same shortcuts everywhere. But you are right that it has issues to be properly adjusted to macOS.

On my Mac Mini I used for the screenshot I just followed the linked howto (one can even just use the system Python with the latest macOS)

And yes, that needs initial effort, that is true. One can for sure improve this, but that needs volunteers.

Let me just call bullshit on that

Wow, ctrl+p instead of boxy thing+p, such difference.

You keep making low effort comments that add nothing to the conversation. What are you trying to accomplish?

Have you actually tried using Kate on MacOS?

I have , and as I said, I even tried to help them use the correct defaults because it's completely unusable with the shortcuts they ship with.
