Since the IIgs is no longer a target market for new keyboards, I

name of the key clearer.
It would be ideal if each of the modifier keys -- Command, Shift,
Control, and Option -- had both its name and symbol on it. The former
so users could connect them to the names used in documentation, and
the latter so they could connect them to the symbols used in menus.
I'm sure there are people who don't know that "Command key" refers to
the one with ⌘ (place of interest sign character) on it, and
probably at least as many who don't know realize that ⌥ (option key
character) in a menu represents the Option key.
