Whole other debate on keyboard mappings

By the way, I note that on my UNIX box,
copy/cut/paste are Alt-c, Alt-x, Alt-v.
It would be *extremely* confusing if they became Ctrl-c, Ctrl-x, Ctrl-v
in Squeak.

The bottom row of my Sun keyboard reads
	Control, Alt, <>, space bar, <>, Compose, Alt Graph
The bottom row of my Mac keyboard reads
	Control, Option, Apple, space bar, Apple, Option, Control
It would be neat if I could set things up so that
(Control -> Control-L, Alt -> Option-L, <>-L -> Apple-L,
 <>-R -> Apple-R, Compose -> Option-R, Alt Graph -> Control-R)
so that my Sun keyboard acted (in Squeak) exactly like my Mac keyboard.
