I think I'd prefer a preference to use meta rather than alt.  That might

be more work; I dunno.  But I think we only technically have three bits

free for modifiers the way it's currently done.


Though we need to consider things like Mac keyboards and OS X.

last time I looked at this issue, it seemed that there were a few different things in a few different places that were wrangling keys in different ways. Hopefully we can get them all unified.
