Hi! I've noticed that with my keymap (french), the right command key and right option key are switched compared to the us keymap (japanese and uk too).

I've got RCommand = 0x60 and ROption = 0x5f.
Almost all keymaps are like this.

The problem is that the check in menu preflet fails (since those values are hardcoded there too) and says i'm in Ctrl mode although i'm in Alt mode. Selecting Alt again rewrites these hardcoded values so that following runs are fine.
See src/data/etc/keymaps and src/preferences/menu/MenuSettings.cpp

Is there any reason behind this variation?

Regards,
Alex
