Yes. So if you type Ctrl-shift-F you will get ifFalse:.
There is a distinction between Cmd- and Cmd-Shift keys.
You can see the effect of the swaps using
Sensor kbdTest
where the 64 bit is the Cmd bit, and the 16 bit is the Ctrl bit. Type
x to quit it.

Also note that many operating systems, applications, and window
managers eat Alt- key combinations; they may never get to Squeak.
For instance, if I use the KNotes application, every time I go
Alt-Shift-N to find class references a little yellow sticky note
appears...
