Linux X11 assigns the Win/Command key as modifier 4; XQuartz puts it on
modifier 2 (which on Linux is Num Lock). I think you can use Xkb or xmodmap
to alter this if necessary.

As for Alt, you need to look at "Option keys send Alt_L and Alt_R" in
Preferences > Input. That should put them on mod5, same as Linux.

You should probably *disable* "Enable key equivalents" so things like
Command-C are not "eaten" by XQuartz.
