One nice touch I noticed in 10.5 is that you no longer have to quit active applications to modify their keyboard shortcuts -- any changes made to the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel are now instantly reflected in the application in question.
Whatever change Apple made, they made it at the system level, as this affects all programs -- even old ones that haven't been updated specifically for Leopard. This change is especially welcomed in the Finder, where you no longer have to force it to quit and restart to use your new shortcuts. (Sadly, they seem to have broken (fixed?) the ability to create a shortcut for the Archive command in the Finder. The menu item is called Compress now, but even with that change, the referenced hint doesn't seem to work in 10.5.)
