This is/was of course not aimed at you personally... although I can't help but wonder if the keys had just one designation each, would the likelihood of you making the same mistake be the same?
because one refers to the Mac keyboard, and the other to what this key is called on other systems.
I beg to disagree. Apple/cloverleaf/command key has three official designations, neither of which appears on any PC systems. Function-wise, Apple's Alt has nothing to do with Windows' Alt, etc.
Even if your argument was true, what would be the reason to do that?
Likely because the key is smaller physically than the command key, and it would come out 'optionalt'. At least it is on my old Sawtooth-era keyboard. (it also says Option and Alt...no 'railway' symbol. That symbol is also not on current G5 keyboards, either, which really sucks, since that make the menu designation completely unintelligible.)
That's exactly my point... It just seems to be a big mess to me.
