Most cross platform games still use ctrl on mac instead of altering
shortcuts to super.
Ditto many CLI tools.
Ditto some shortcuts that aren't standardized across mac application UX,
like keyboard navigation between open files in an editor.

It would be useful to give devs and users *any* indication of suggested
behavior in this case, even if only in the form of recommendations for when
it's [not] recommended to abandon the FD.o standards when crossing to a
non-FD.o platform.
