Description

On a mac, Cmd+M is a systemwide shortcut for minimizing the current window. In Pluto this shortcut is co-opted for wrapping the contents of a cell in a markdown string literal.

It would be nice if the shortcut on macOS were different. For now, to minimize a window I usually press Cmd+M, then notice this triggered the Markdown transformation, undo it, click outside of the cell, then press Cmd+M again.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the keyboard shortcut definition for Cmd+M in the Pluto frontend code and conditionally assign a different shortcut on macOS to avoid conflict with system minimize.
