[Bug 22073] 'Meta' key is the same as the 'OS' or 'Win' key

--- Comment #3 from Masayuki Nakano <masayuki@d-toybox.com> ---
If "Super" and "Hyper" should be used for physical windows logo key on Linux in
most environment, it worsen the usefulness of .key for web developers. If they
want to handle the physical Windows logo key with .key, then, they need to
check "OS", "Super" and "Hyper" with platform information. It doesn't make
sense for me.

Additionally, Linux's Meta key and Command key of Mac are really different key.

On the other hand, I believe that Win logo key on Windows, Command key on Mac
and Super/Hyper key on Linux are really different functional key. Therefore, I
feel it's very strange we use same key names for different functional keys.

I think that if you believe that "Super" and "Hyper" should be used on Linux,
"Meta" shouldn't be used for command key on Mac. I think D3E should define
"Command" key name for it. And of course, I think "OS" is better for windows
logo key on Windows.

Anyway, making XP level modifier key unification includes a lot of conflict by
seeing from different angles.
