      In the Qt-toolkit there are standard key sequences defined which change depending on operating system.

      See the following links.
      http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#standard-shortcuts
      http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#StandardKey-enum

      As I understand it there is no such functionality in JavaFX right now. There is place for it in the private behaviour API according to http://www.coderanch.com/t/636525/JavaFX/java/Standard-key-sequences.

      This type of functionality is useful for achieving consistent behaviour between different platforms.

      It might be the case that the behaviour system must be extended to copy with shortcuts as key sequences such as available in e.g. Emacs (C-x s, C-x 1 and so on) and Eclipse.
