So I know the the key code for CTRL is 17 and the Mac ‘Command Key’ or ‘Apple Button’ is 15 as per the live docs:

Is there anything I might need to be aware of if I want to use the Apple key as a CTRL alternative ?

eg

```auto
if(e.keyCode==15 || e.keyCode==17) // do some stuff

```

I don’t have access to a Mac’ to test so I thought I better check …

Thanks for your consideration,
