Right, and I agree.
But hey, when the inventor of the toolkit (Bill) recommends something..

Right, but there's no string equivalent for accessing the FL_COMMAND
macro.
Currently we have codes for ctrl, shift, and alt:
"^c" -- ctrl c
"+c" -- shift c
"#c" -- alt c
..and probably need an additional code for 'meta' (the "windows key" on
windows/linux,
the "cloverleaf" key on mac)
and what's being suggested is to also have a code to access FL_COMMAND,
which means different things on different platforms, ie:
"!c" -- 'command' c (ctrl-c on win, cmd-c on mac)
