Comment (by anevilyak):
Replying to [comment:3 jscipione]:
> "The right-hand side Option and Command keys are reversed for users of
AltGr." The question is why? This makes no sense to me. If simply should
not be, left command should be the same as right command, left option
should be the same as right option, switching them is quite confusing.
The reason is, on most of those keyboards, the right Alt is labelled Alt
Gr and is the one that's used to generated modified key sequences such as
accented characters. Since B_COMMAND_KEY does not do this in Haiku, a
different function must be assigned to that key in order to serve its
intended function.
