No. On a Mac the "command" key is "Cmd" -- hence why I think we should not call it "command" internally, to help maintain platform independent semantics.

Yes and I thought this was the reason to define one Command-Modifier (Ctrl on Windows, because you use Ctrl+C for copy, Command on Mac, because you

use Cmd+C for copy on a Mac) and map. (and we are using "Command" instead of a platform independent name, because many squeak-keyshortcuts had

its history from the old first implementation for a mac. And users are used to this semantics.

No. I know they both have nice icons, but they are not the same. You don't use the windows key to copy text.

Yes, exactly, they are the same keys but used for different purposes on each platform. Windows uses the ctrl-key for copy/paste, the alt-key for the menu bar, the

Windows/Meta key for Desktop and Shell shortcuts.

Mac uses the Meta/Command key copy/paste.

-> I think we can not really use a platform independent schema, if the platform reserved the keys for its own purpose.
