Comment (by pulkomandy):
jscipione: if you switch the shortcuts to "linux/windows" mode in Keymap,
then command/option wil be reversed. If they were labelled 'alt' and
'control', then you'd have to press 'alt' for the menus labelled 'ctrl',
and 'ctrl' for the menus labelled 'alt'... How easy is that ? :)
for the record, old version of BeOS (R3, maybe R4) did show the clover
symbol.
Anyway, the idea is you can't really guess what's written on the physical
key from the keycode. Some people even swap ctrl with caps lock :). There
seem to be some mixup between the menus labels and the keymap preflet,
combined with some keyswapping on Apple's side to make their computers
useable with pc keyboards. This gets quite messy in the end :)
