The "Industry Standard" generally uses the "Alt" (Left Alt) key
for command shortcuts corresponding to Apple's Command key, and
uses the "Option" (sometimes Right Alt) key for character extension.
Since there is no one-to-one correspondence between Mac and PC
keyboards, it can be called either one, but I think calling it
"Option" is more consistent with common usage.

What's the correct name of the Alternate/Option key? The keycap is labeled
"alt", but AFAIK Mac users usually call it the "Option key".
