But both KeyboardEvent.metaKey of Firefox and Google chrome return false 
for Windows key on Linux and Windows.

If Windows key should be metaKey, should DOM key event for both Meta key 
and Super key return true by metaKey property? And if so, we should use 
same key value for both meta key and super key? I don't think it makes 
sense...
