Because our Carbon implementation on the Mac sucks. It didn't anticipate 
having a typing key as a menu shortcut, so the menubar steals (captures) 
all keys that are listed on shortcuts. TB2 works around this by using 
#ifdef so that the keys aren't specified on the menuitems. SeaMonkey 
works around this by using platform-specific overlays. IIRC the new 
Cocoa menubar on TB3 won't be quite so bad.
