There was just a discussion where I showed that the "meta" key you can get with javascript does give you the apple/command key state. In fact I have a change in the code for my RoundCube install that uses the apple/command key instead of control and it works in Firefox and Safari. That way I can use command-click for non-contiguous multiple select.
