It would be ideal if each of the modifier keys -- Command, Shift,

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.
The reason they removed the names is that it was too expensive to
have a
different keyboard for each language that is supported.
So that explains why all the keyboards you get today from Apple say
"shift", "return", "control", "option", etc. on them, at least the
english versions. :)
Anyway this OT thread should likely be taken someplace else... it
isn't relevant to Xcode.
