I'll let others at Stata address your first two questions. In regards to your
last question, it's simply because the contextual menu just has the wrong
keyboard shortcut assigned to it. The main menu has the keyboard shorcuts for
Shift Left and Shift Right as Control-[ and Control-], respectively, and the
main menu's keyboard shortcuts takes precedence over contextual menus. It's
been fixed and will be in the next update.
It was necessary for us to reassign the keyboard shortcuts when we added
tabbed windows support to Stata for Mac so that you can navigate between tabs
in a window using the keyboard. We tried to follow standard conventions for
the keyboard shortcuts so Cmd-[ and Cmd-] now go back and forth between a
Viewer's file history. Cmd-Shift-[ and Cmd-Shift-] navigates between tabs in
a window.
