The PC did not have a meta key, so to get the functionality of the
meta key, they used alt instead. That's where the confusion started.


But of course, we who were used to Sun keyboards and then moved to
unix (FreeBSD in my case) on PC hardware chose the left windows key as
Meta.  At least I did, and I never felt the need to change it.


I also have Windows mapped to Meta. Or, technically, I guess the Windows key gets mapped to Super.
