Camillo introduced a while ago the meta modifier: $a meta $z meta shift meta is sensitive to the current environment and is equivalent to what you where describing above: - command in mac - control in windows/unix What should be done is to use it in the system :).

Yes, this is what I expected too. ... With that, I would expect "Character arrowLeft command" maps to Ctrl+Left for windows/linux Meta+Left for Mac (If Meta is the Command-Key on a Mac keyboard).
That makes sense to me. "command" seems like it may be the best abstract term. Hotkey already has a meaning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_shortcut), and it seems meta is used inconsistently by the platforms - i.e. Mac uses it for commands, but Windows uses ctrl instead. IIRC we already treat #option and #alt as synonyms...
