> Shortcut help screen needs to use platform-specific key symbols on Mac (Esc = ⎋, Tab = ⇥ etc)

I actually don't think this is a good idea. I am fine with Arrows, Tab, Backspace and Return, Mac's Control, Cmd, Option and Shift since they match the images on the actual keyboard.

But I am not such a great fan of ⎋ for Esc, PageUp, PageDown and the rest. I'd use a following rule: if an image matches the one on the keyboard - use it. Otherwise we make user wonder what ⎋ stands for. I did not know (or at least that it not on top of my head).

Another thing is that I would also try to render shortcut hints in as platform-agnostic manner as possible. That would ease the migration between platforms.
