Because the mac users and mac developers of Sigil have *long* used it that way. The shortcut key sequence strings shown are then universal (the same string is used across platforms) and can be stored, retrieved, and created and assigned in that manner. To me it is just not worth the time and energy to worry about. And I just do not want to add more platform specific code to make a change that will just mess up long term MacOS users of Sigil and other Qt programs.
