shift could be the metakey? Maybe too many syllables...

But, the meta key already exists and on Windows it is the Windows key. We're going around in circles.

I thought the Meta key is labeled "Alt" in Windows(-like) keyboards.

I always get confused around this and it seems to depend on specific keyboard and software. It seems to mostly be Alt, sometimes Alt Gr, and sometimes the Windows key. But I do remember using Meta to mean Alt when I was setting things up in Ubuntu maybe ten years ago.

I think Super and Meta are the vendor independent terms.

    Ctrl             - Ctrl    - Ctrl
    Super            - Windows - Command
    Left/Right Super - ??      - Open/Close Apple
    Left Meta        - Alt     - Option
    Right Meta       - Alt Gr  - Right Option?

Anybody able to fill the gaps?

Approaching an Apple keyboard for the first time, I naively thought Command would be Ctrl and was quite confused, since there also is Ctrl. But once you start a terminal it became quite clear that this was not the case. This is quite neat, it directly solves the SIGINT,SIGSTOP / Copy, Ctrl-D? confusion. Also having these operation as OS command means that all programs support them.
