After re-reading the key descriptions on Wikipedia:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_key
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_key
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_key
IMO #meta is the only sensible name for "the appropriate key on Xyz
platform", as it is not in use by modern keyboards and thus can be thought
of abstractly. Command, which I too initially thought might work, doesn't
seem like a great candidate because it means cmd on Mac ("command" is
written on the key on my Macbook Air), so Windows users may naturally think
that translates to the Win key, which appears in the same place on Windows
keyboards, but serves a somewhat different function.
