Calibre Mac app steals the minimize hotkey
Please don't override standard OS hotkeys. I'd like to be able to continue using the normal macOS hotkey to minimize all my graphical applications: Command + M. Please don't mess with this hotkey.
Not interested in performing extra configuration work on my installation. I want Calibre to integrate better with macOS out of the box. |

I'm afraid I am not interested in specializing calibre shortcuts per platform.

We don't need to specialize anything.
Just don't override very common hotkeys, for any platform, from any platform. Use a different hotkey than Super+M for marking books. |

Would it be much extra work to set different defaults for certain systems? Post 2 makes it seem so.

Yes, it would. One has to make the entire set of defaults internally consistent and test that they dont conflict with platform defaults for every system. THis is simply not worth the ongoing effort.
