 Replying to [comment:5 slapbox]:
 > @afercia is there any harm to allowing Ctrl+Y and Ctrl+Shift+Z both to
 operate independent of platform?

 From an accessibility perspective, I'd tend to think there won't be any
 harm unless the non-standard shortcut is expected to do something else on
 that specific software on that specific platform :(
 For example:
 - The Atom editor on macOS uses both Cmd+Y and Cmd+Shift+Z. The "non
 standard" Cmd+Y isn't reserved for other actions in the context of the
 Atom Editor.
 - When it comes to browsers, things are different.
 - For example on macOS Chrome, Cmd+Y is expected to open the full history.
 If we want to use it for "Undo", then we should prevent the default
 action. But then, I guess the "Show Full History"  shortcut would be
 broken.
