Bernhard,
I do not think that it is a problem with wxWidget. It might be a peculiarity of OS X.
There are a lot of applications that exhibit the same behavior.

I have no idea why OS X keyboard needs to use the command key when the MacBook 
keyboard has both the “Apple command key” and a control key. I will have to make 
a list of the apps that behave similarly, but i remember having the same problem
running Windows under Parallels for Desktop.
I blamed the issue with a crazy mapping of the Apple keyboard.

Regards,
Jean-Paul
