Comment (by stippi):
I understand the purpose of key roles. The problem is that when you use
Haiku as a new user, and you open a menu and see what shortcut you could
be using instead of your mouse, "CMD" doesn't tell you anything. You'd
have to open the Keymap preflet (which you may not expect to exist at
all), to see a key labeled "CMD". From my understanding, John's solution
is a middle ground that tries to keep this purpose of showing the bitmaps
in the menus in the first place. Once you know what key "CMD" is referring
to, and that you can even change it, showing it in the menu this way is
probably fine. But that means accepting the IMHO quite big usability
problem that exists before you know what key "CMD" is referring to. Is
this another thing new users are just expected to learn about the
platform?
