It switches between Control and Alt as the Command key (the option was in
the Menu prefs in BeOS). If you haven't noticed any difference, you might
have forgotten to press the "Use" button before closing the preflet. At
least that's what virtually always happens to me the first time I tried to
change it. Definitely an annoyance that needs fixing.

I'm actually pretty content with how it works now. Axel's Keymap preflet
solved all the gripes I had with the previous handling.

Really? If that's how it is supposed to be, it doesn't work. Both Alt keys
work like Command keys.
