I am an avid Mac-user and a fan of FreeMind.

I intend to provide a user.properties file that maps most of the keystrokes to the Command-key instead of the Control key for those other Mac fans out there who use FreeMind.

Here is my user.properties file with Macintosh Key Bindings

# automatically generated user.properties file.
# generated by Freemind version 0.7.1
# To change an option, please remove the '#' at the front of the corresponding line and restart freemind. Otherwise, the changes are ignored.
##/*$Id: user.properties,v 1.19 2004/02/06 06:04:24 christianfoltin Exp $*/ -*- mode:sh -*-
##This is the language that should be used in the program. Currently "en", "de" and "fr" are supported
#language = en
#
## Auto options. Do not modify these as they will be saved to auto.properties anyway.
#antialiasEdges = true
#antialiasAll   = false

#modes = freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode,freemind.modes.mindmapmode.MindMapMode,freemind.modes.filemode.FileMode
##The initial mode that is loaded on startup
#initial_mode = MindMap
#
##This is the place where the users properties file is located. It is ignored by the applet (set Parameters in the html
##file instead). You can write "~" to indicate the users home directory. 
##Of course this works only in the default "freemind.properties", which is included in the jar file, not for the users
##freemind.props out of the jar file.
#properties_folder = freemind

##The standard background color in html notation 
#standardbackgroundcolor = #ffffff
##The Look&Feel to use. "metal","windows","motif" are supported, "mac" is available only on MacOS
## default means, that the default look and feel is used.
## If there are problems with the look and feel, then choose "nothing" here.
##It work for applets

##The initial size of every map 
#mapxsize = 1000
#mapysize = 3200
##Where to place new branches. Valid values are "first" and "last"

##Set Links either relative or absolute

##This is a hash that maps endings of files to programs which should be used to open them.
##It is only used by the application,not by the applet.
##Special keywords: "default" instead of file and "execute" instead of program
##Examples: Unix: "default:netscape,sh:bash,txt:emacs,mp3:freeamp,jpg:xv"

## {{{ Keystrokes 
## 
## These are the accelerators for the menu items. Valid modifiers are: 
## shift | control | alt | meta | button1 | button2 | button3 
## Valid keys should be all that are defined in java.awt.event.KeyEvent 
## (without the "VK_" prefix), but I found this buggy. All normal char's should work.  
#
## The ideas employed in choice of keyboard shortcuts are:
##   If there is a standard for a feature, use it
##   Use meta modifier wherever possible

## # For "Windows NT":
## default_browser_command_windows_nt = C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe "{0}"

## Dimitri proposed:

##
## Here the default browser for other operating systems goes:
##
## other is typically Linux:

## To disable automatic saving set this number to 2000000000.

## If the files should be deleted automatically on a normal shutdown of Freemind set the following variable to true

##
## to change the default path (this is "java.io.tmpdir" of java), enter a directory path here:
## other possibilities:
## * freemind_home   stands for the directory, where the auto.properties are.
## * default         points to java.io.tmpdir
