Summary: OS X menu key is wrong

Initial Comment:
In Mac OS X the keyboard key used to produce a context 
sensitive menu is the Control key. Thus users would expect 
to hold down Control to generate the popup menu in Jmol 
images in web pages. 
In fact the Command key is required. This will confuse users 
and degrade their experience.
If the key could be switched to Control that would be much 
better.

The general Apple developer guidance is here
"Contextual menus open when the user presses the Control key 
while clicking an appropriate interface element or selection."
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/
Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGMenus/
chapter_15_section_5.html
and specific to Java here

I have a two button mouse (Wacom) whch can be programmed to 
do anything on right-click. I'd be pleased to use it to help check 
the event flags if I can.

Is there an Apple GUI document that describes what the
behavior is supposed to be? 

I need to find a Mac OSX system, plug in a two button mouse
and see what event flags are set when you press the right
button. 

I may be wrong, but it sounds to me like Apple's GUI
directly conflicts with the Java spec.
