Hmm... there is the question of what to do on Linux. Linux of course runs on Mac, what would make the most sense is to honor both keyboard shortcuts on all platforms. The Windows Key(sometimes called "Super") seems to produce the same keycodes as Command. (at least this used to be the case, I have no new Mac keyboards or new Macs to test on).
