#alt_meta ?
- Maps to alt on OSX, ctrl on Win/Linux.
- Can only bind either #meta or #alt_meta + key, or both must bind to same 
action.

navigation).
(here are *alot* of different keyboard layouts on Mac using alt + key to 
generate crucial characters, allowing alt + key as shortcut in general is bound 
to end in disaster sooner or later)
Thanks for the input!

Indeed, using Alt for Mac for anything else than text is not so nice. However, 
on Mac we could use Ctrl. To this end, we could introduce a secondaryMeta that 
maps like this:
- Mac: Ctrl
- Win: Alt
- Linux: Alt

What do you think?

Would be ok but why do we need secondary meta?
