I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.

My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.

Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.

Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.

You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd 

<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C">

English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd 

<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label        "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey   "H">

You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.

I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.
