Hi everyone,

And a serious thanks to all who contribute to this wonderful program :handshake:

I used Inkscape before in windows but have since then left windows for OS X and now use it there. Only thing is that Inkscape felt and behaved as a normal program in windows but just doesn't do that under X11 in OS X... it's slow and shortcuts are wrong.

Are there any chance of a real OS X native version in the future? I'm for one would happily pay for a good native version of Inkscape rather than use another program.

This depends on the progress of this project: http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ If you are familiar with Quartz and GDK you might be able to help.

As for speed, I think using X11 is only a minor factor - the real issue is that the current renderer isn't very fast and doesn't use Cairo. Different shortcuts for Mac are not out of the question, but this may create confusion for users that move between platforms. Can you describe in more detail what shortcuts are wrong?

Regards, Krzysztof
