Linux is the same as Windows.

This confuses the issue. :) From Pharo's perspective, the windows-key
does not exist. I really believe the windows-key should *not* be
considered a meta-key, and some call it the super-key.

Note that he said *currently* , not that it was correct. Indeed it is
wrong per platform conventions. Observe all the PharoShortcuts saying
for example...
^ $b command mac | $b ctrl win | $b ctrl unix
That is...
Linux/Windows meta-key = Ctrl.
OSX meta-key = Cmd
Alt should remain Alt and be equivalent to Option on osx, but it
seems on Windows that somewhere low level the Alt key *becomes* a Cmd
key. This needs to be killed.

Thanks for doing this. It might be a bit bumpy road but really needs
to be done.
Now my opinion is based on previously being a long term Windows Pharo
user, but right now I need to find a Windows machine to assist.
