Version 4.2.1 is deprecated and no longer supported.  Please try with the latest stable release which is 5.1.0.  The problem is likely to have been fixed.

When you see this effect in the shortcut dialog, then I assume that qt already switches the modifiers. From the qt documentation:

Special Keys

To provide the expected behavior for Qt applications on Mac OS X, the Qt::Meta, Qt::MetaModifier, and Qt::META enum values correspond to the Control keys on the standard Macintosh keyboard, and the Qt::Control, Qt::ControlModifier, and Qt::CTRL enum values correspond to the Command keys.

It appears that (at least) on macbooks pro the Meta and Control keys are switched in Octave-Gui. E.g. when trying to save a file, the configured shortcut key "Meta + S" doesn't work, whereas actually "Ctrl + S" works. Then, when trying to correct this shortcut in the Preferences dialog, when pressing "Command + S" the dialog shows "Control + S".

This makes it pretty obvious that the Meta (i.e. Command) and Control keys are inversed by Octave-Gui.
