Comment (by humdinger):
Which prompts me to reiterate the known proposal not to use shortcut key
''names'', but stick to their function, which never changes even if you
remap your keyboard: Copying will always be command+C. No matter if your
command key is mapped to ALT, CTRL, AltGr or F7.[[BR]]
As graphics used in menus use CMD (command key == normally ALT), CTL
(control key == normally CTRL), OPT (option key == normally WIN (or
AltGr)), SHFT == normally SHIFT.
If we would rename the CTL (control) key to something else, there wouldn't
even be confusion for "Windows mode" users, for whom their CMD key ==
CRTL, and CTL key == ALT... :) How about "MOD" (modifying) key?[[BR]]
Just saying...
