When using a Macintosh keyboard with Haiku, it is necessary to change the
keymap so that the Command key is the primary modifier and Option is the
secondary modifier. This results in Command bindings portrayed as OPT and
Option bindings portrayed as ALT in menus.
Here is a simple patch to MenuPrivate that adds a CMD graphic and applies
it when the modifiers are configured for a Macintosh keyboard. This may
also be of interest to users of Sun keyboards, Happy Hacking Keyboards,
and others where the layout of Command and Alt/Option are the reverse of
IBM PC-style keyboards.
