I notice none of the shortcuts use Cmd, instead using Ctrl...

Why? This causes you to do one of the weirdest things ever... namely, using CMD as your right click button?!

In EVERY OTHER PROGRAM, Ctrl is right click on a one button mouse. It took me a full ten minutes to figure out that it was Cmd on this.

Switch the functions. We use Ctrl for that and Cmd for keyboard shortcuts over here in Mac land

Command works as the right click button for me...

Right, that's not standard behavior. Normally, ctrl-click is a contextual menu, and command performs, well, commands.

Hmm... check out the most recent Developer Journal, about outsourcing the SL client for the Mac, and then feel free to submit a bug report about the cmd/ctrl issues. Perhaps even email Critical Mass

Isn't it Critical Path rather than Critical Mass?

You've mentioned 2 diff things here.
1. CMD vs Control in menus.. I agree it shuold be cmd instead of control.

2. CMD vs Control right click. I have ctrl-click as right click set up on my logitech mouse and it works fine for the "right click" functions of SL.

Heh, yes, Critical Path. Wasn't being very factchecking

And, my laptop uses Ctrl-Click for right-clicking, and my Logitech mouse automatically does right-clicking (no assignment needed) and it works fine in SL.

I think it's more that OSX is utilizing your 2-button mouse than your mouse emulating a keyboard shortcut.
