Currently, DrRacket uses cmd-[ and cmd-] and it seems unfortunate to
have to change that by adding another modifier. I see that terminal
uses that for cycling windows, and safari and firefox use it for the
browsing history. Preview uses it for changing pages. So cmd-[ and
cmd-] don't seem all that standard.
