[PD-dev] double menu bindings

[Dan Wilcox]

Ok, judging from the following, there seems to be a bug related to accelrators with Shift not being ignored in the Cocoa tk layer: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2011-March/132059.html <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2011-March/132059.html>

We’re not crazy. I’ll look for a workaround. In the meantime, none of this needs to be included in the 0.47 release. I’m aiming more for a followup when I can get the retina menu & font resolution, etc working well in Mac.

This is something I’ll throw up into a branch when I lock down updates for tk 8.5 on OSX soon. It will need to be tested on other platforms.
