Description

When using a Macintosh keyboard with Haiku, it is necessary to change the keymap so that the Command key is the primary modifier and Option is the secondary modifier. This results in Command bindings portrayed as OPT and Option bindings portrayed as ALT in menus.

Here is a simple patch to MenuPrivate that adds a CMD graphic and applies it when the modifiers are configured for a Macintosh keyboard. This may also be of interest to users of Sun keyboards, Happy Hacking Keyboards, and others where the layout of Command and Alt/Option are the reverse of IBM PC-style keyboards.
