Option is dead. So the table should look more like:
Mac PC
----------------
Shift Shift
Cmd Ctrl
Ctrl ???
Note that there is a problem on the last line. Any choice you make will
mean that the "control" key, for Squeak on Win32, is not the one
labelled "Ctrl". To fix this, we could possibly rename "control"
entirely, eg "shifting-command" or "super-command". :) Then we could
do:
Squeak Mac PC
---------------------
shift shift shift
cmd cmd ctrl
scmd ctrl alt
Of course, in the process here we end up with a similar condition to
mouse buttons: just as people can't talk about left/right/middle or even
primary/secondary/tertiary buttons, they can't talk about the control
key. Maybe it's worth it, though, if ctrl-c does what a Windows user
expects.
