Or we use keymap-independent key names, as I've proposed in the past:
You have OPT ("OPTION", default: WIN), COM ("COMMAND", default: ALT),
CTL ("CONTROL", default: CTRL). If we use these consistently troughout
the system, from menu shortcut labels to Keymap preferences to
documentation, the user can remap his keyboard to his heart's content
and everything always remains correct.
If someone chooses to map his CONTROL key to ALT instead of CTRL, it's
his prerogative... :)
