Apple calls them keyboard shortcuts. The standard way of expressing
them
seems to be Command-Option-L, with caps and hyphens.

In the case of Control-Click this use to be used to bring up a
'Contextual
Menu', but in my latest copy of OS X The Missing Manual, I see in
the Index
'Contextual Menus' says - see Shortcut Menus. So anything to do with
Control-Click should be referenced to a Shortcut Menu.
I found this from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343
"A keyboard shortcut is a way to invoke a function in Mac OS X by
pressing a combination of keys on your keyboard."
and further on...
"A modifier key is a part of many key combinations. A modifier key
alters the way other keystrokes or mouse clicks are interpreted by Mac
OS X. Modifier keys include: Command, Control, Option, Shift, Caps
Lock, and (on portable Macs) the fn key."
So, for example, to open the file log in my app one can mouse click
with the option key down. To open the timer/billing window you mouse
click with the control key down. It would seem that the terms I am
looking for would also include Modifier Key. I'm getting way too picky
for my usual sloppy self. ;-P
