Hey Chris.

So we presumably need a similar statement for Alt, which seems to correspond to the Option key. I admittedly know very little about input events in WebKit, but a quick grep through the Layout Tests revealed a you have a platform test (mac/selection-boundary-userinfo.html) which is synthesizing altKey+leftArrow and altKey+rightArrow to move by word. So is the main problem ensuring authors know that "Alt" means "Option"? Or is there a technical issue we need to resolve? Thank you for alerting us to this! --joanie [1] https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#aria-keyshortcuts
