I would strongly recommend having the preference swap all eight keys which are currently reversed in Windows versus Squeak.  I believe these eight keys are:

x (cut)
c (copy)
v (paste)
a (select all)
s (save)
f (find)
g (find again)
z (undo)

(I don't think there are any other modifier keys that are letter-equivalent between Windows & Squeak.)

In other words, InputSensor class>>installKeyDecodeTable should be changed to use the collection { $c . $x . $v . $a . $s . $f . $g . $z } instead of what it has now.

I think this would prevent Andreas from going insane. :)

As far as whether the preference should be on by default on Windows platforms, there are pluses and minuses either way.  I might lean toward having the preference on by default for Windows users, since the people who prefer Alt are probably more familiar with Squeak and would be more likely to know how to switch the preference back.
