Dude, you're the only one complaining about that.
Besides, Haiku will *never* succeeed if it limits itself to copycating Windows.
Not many Linux software uses the equivalent Windows shortcuts.
NO Mac OS software ever used Windows keystrokes for shortcuts.
Actually BeOS' shortcuts are mostly modelled after Mac OS' ones.
And, to be honest, very few Windows users (in the sense that 5-10% is
still just a small amount in any order of magnitude, even if it means
dozens of millions ini this case) are going after Haiku anyway. And if
they can't give THIS up (in the sense that Windows did everything in
contrary of every other contemporary OS), then I really don't think
they're ready to switch to *any* other OS since most of them don't
follow the Windows HIG (which includes -- you guessed it! --
"standard" keyboard shortcuts).
