The engine maps the keys:

Key            Mac           Win/Linux

commandkey     command        control
controlKey     control        control
optionKey      option         alt

So on a Mac, "controlKey" or "control" gives what you want. On Windows 
and Linux, commandKey and controlKey are synonyms.
