I specifically did not use that keyboard shortcut in the Mac menu created by
the Mac driver.  Since the Mac driver maps the Command key to the Windows Alt
key, Command-H is how the user would type Alt-H into a program which needs
that.  (Also, it may be that, in a game for example, the user might be holding
down Command to fire, crouch, run, or something and pressing H for some other
separate action.  That is, they don't think of themselves as pressing Command-H
or Alt-H, but they effectively are.)  I don't want them to trigger the Hide
menu item by accident.

In general, I'm avoiding adding any keyboard shortcuts to the Mac menu items
that use key combinations that might be needed by Windows programs.  Since the
Mac driver does not map the Option key to any Windows modifier, I'm only using
keyboard shortcuts that include the Option key.  That's why I used
Command-Option-Q for Quit even though the Mac standard is Command-Q.  I didn't
use Command-Option-H for Hide because Command-Option-H already has a standard
meaning as Hide Others.

As somebody who regularly uses Hide to de-clutter his desktop, I fully
understand that this is an inconvenience.  However, there are other ways to
hide an app and no other way to type Alt-H, so I figured the trade-off was
worth it.

I think you can use the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard pane of System
Preferences to assign Command-H to the Hide item of Wine's Mac menus.
