OK... whole nother debate:
The usual Mac command for (say) copy is Cmd-C
The usual Windows (and many Linux) command for copy is Ctrl-C
However, mapping the Alt to Cmd causes us to need Alt-C instead. So
Squeak becomes the only app (out of many) that uses Alt-C rather than
Ctrl-C to copy.
I would suggest the following mapping between Mac and PC modifier
keys, for consistency with the rest of the apps in the given
environments:
Mac PC
----------------
Cmd Ctrl
Option Alt
