I hope we change that in PharoShortcuts, we should use one "Meta/Command" key name, that is mapped to Ctrl for win/linux and Cmd fo mac
After re-reading the key descriptions on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_key http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_key http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_key IMO #meta is the only sensible name for "the appropriate key on Xyz platform", as it is not in use by modern keyboards and thus can be thought of abstractly. Command, which I too initially thought might work, doesn't seem like a great candidate because it means cmd on Mac ("command" is written on the key on my Macbook Air), so Windows users may naturally think that translates to the Win key, which appears in the same place on Windows keyboards, but serves a somewhat different function.
This was my concern also. btw, I found this an interesting read... https://www.mozilla.org/access/keyboard/ cheers -ben
