Surely the Mac keyboard is an abstract concept that Mono doesn't need to 
know about? WinForms might be hard coded, but if you were to use one of 
the Cocoa bridges, this would be a complete non issue. I think GTK# 
works too.

 From memory, I thought that the Control key (Apple key, or as you say 
here "Mac" key) behaved properly last time I tried it in WinForms. As 
far as I'm aware, a Mac keyboard maps the virtual key codes in OS X in 
reverse if you plug in a non Mac Keyboard (so that the key captions are 
correct.) That way the Option key ("Alt" or "Pretzel" on Mac, "Windows" 
on PC) and Command ("Apple" on a Mac, "Alt" on PC) were the right way 
round. I could be wrong though. I know that Parallels puts them the 
Windows way round which totally screws with my head. If not, you can 
force that to happen in the Keyboard section of the settings.
