Description
In Mac I can open a tab with command+t, but on Linux/Windows I have to use ctrl+shift+t.
Why the extra shift?
I know I can change the keymaps, I've done that but I don't understand the reason for this extra shift in the out of the box configuration.
It would be great if Mac also supported the ctrl shortcuts to ease moving between the different OSs. My muscle memory is constantly tripping me up when I deal with Mac even when using a PC keyboard.
I'm happy to create a PR to update the mappings if this is deemed a reasonable request.

Done means the requested Ctrl-based shortcuts work without the extra Shift where appropriate across the stated platforms.
