Mac OS X - Shortcuts

I am using jEdit now for a couple of years. I started using it on Windows and now i moved over to MacOS X.
I used it with Mac OS X 10.5 and now 10.6. But since i am moved from Windows to Mac i observed a very interesting behaviour with the keyboard shortcuts for Copy and Paste.
In the Text Area (i hope my naming for all the components are correct) the Copy and Paste shortcuts are Cmd+C and Cmd+V ... which is exactly as it is used in all Mac-Applications. But all the poup-windows (like Search and Replace, Global Options, ...) The text fields do not react on this shortcuts. They use the shortcut i remember from the Windows version ... Ctrl+C and Crtl+V.
In my opinion this looks a bit confusing for me as i do not leave the Application but the shortcut is different on every window.
Is there any way to change this somehow inconsistent shortcuts?
Thanks.
