Yes, but not only on Macs. Use a commandKey handler on either plaform when 
you want to trap Command on Mac and Control on PC.

A controlKey handler does a similar translation, mapping to the Alt key on 
Windows. On a Mac it will be sent when the user types a control-x key 
combination; the same "controlkey" message will be sent on a PC when the 
user types Alt-x.
