I have never understood, either, why something like "new window" is actually "Command N" (as labeled in the menu), when it is really "Command n". "Command N" is actually: "Shift, Command, n" (as the shift key makes a lowercase key uppercase). I know, I know, the keys on a keyboard are labeled in uppercase letters, and the menu-items are supposed to correspond to what is on the keyboard, but I feel this only confuses things even more. (This is not just a Mac problem, as referring to a lowercase key using an uppercase symbol is how it is done on Windows, and Linux (Gnome and KDE, at least), too.)
