With the current Cocoa Tk 8.5 (ActiveState 8.5.15), it appears that the IDLE Redo accelerator, Cmd-Shift-Z, has the same effect as the Undo accelerator, Cmd-Z.  This is probably related to the behavior and changes in Cocoa Tk noted in Issue11055.  With the older Apple-supplied Tk 8.5.9 on OS X 10.9, the Cmd-Shift-Z causes two Redos.  Cmd-Shift-Z works correctly with Carbon Tk 8.4.20 (as linked with the 32-bit-only python.org installers) and selecting the Redo menu item, rather than using a keyboard shortcut, appears to work correctly with all versions.

Still an issue.  Several shortcuts do not work right, so I am generalizing the issue. 

1. Redo command accelerator acts as Undo.
2. Cmd-M minimizes instead of open module (#35104 has long discussion). 

I at least one other issue mentions a similar problem.  The default mac keybinding should all be tested to determine the scope of the problem.  Then a new keyset designed (#32761)

3. #18444 and #32761 both discuss ^A and beginning of line.
