macOS cmd/shortcuts/hotkeys issues (grouping issue)

[vladimiry]

Simply placing this issue to group and close the following ones:

• #497
• #430
• #251
• #143
• #439

As I've answered before:

• Those are likely upstream/@electron issues related to how webview's focusing/hotkeys being handled. But some workarounds might be possible.
• I'm not jumping into debugging/resolving these issues until I get a macOS device which I'm not going to do in a near future. So maybe someone else who runs macOS could look into it.
• The workaround: using the context menu instead of the hotkey.

I don't want to be harsh, but I use Electronmail to make my life easier, if I have to resort to right click every single time I want to copy / paste some text in my emails I'll end up with losing a bunch of time and getting frustrated.

Moving back to the webapp until it's fixed somehow, I'd been a great piece of software when it was still fully functional, thank you !

@onjour btw, complaining in https://github.com/electron/electron/issues would also be a relevant thing as those hotkeys supposed to work for webviews "out from the box" but they don't.

I will just repeat again that I still don't tend to work on fixing this issue until I get a macOS-based device which I'm not going to do in a near future. It's open stuff though so anyone could take on it, not just me.

I'm not a developer but could this be a possible fix: https://www.codedmaster.com/2017/01/24/getting-electron-copy-paste-shortcuts-for-mac-builds/

@mantismu no offense, but I'd expect someone who runs macOS would make a tested pull request rather than proposing possible fixes. The fix might be very simple, but it needs to be tested in action which I can't do running Linux and I'd prefer not to ask someone who runs macOS to test it.

I'm locking the issue for now. The reason for locking is listed in my previous message. A tested pull request is welcomed.
