Comment (by anevilyak):
There's not really much to discuss here, the reason the keymap applet uses
those is, as Axel pointed out, what actual function those keys will
perform in Haiku. It makes no sense to say Alt since the keymap could just
as easily let me make that key say 'a' or 'b' when hit. The
representations they're given now indicate what they'll actually do, and
are also the representations used in things like menu items to indicate
what key combination to hit as an accelerator shortcut. Putting alt in the
keymap instead would completely remove your ability to associate that.
