Err, no.

USB keyboards generate standard codes for keypresses, regardless of whether they are labeled "windows" or "command" (or "meta"). It's a major pain in the ass that vendors sell keyboards with completely different markings and absolutely no difference in the codes they generate. Sun keyboards produced a byte saying what markings were on the keyboard so we could set up the right tables, but standard USB keyboards don't. So we have to ask - one of the few conventions is that the numbers 0-9 are fixed, so we can at least ask for a number to be typed.

In any case, about the Command/Windows/Meta key:

"On a keyboard made with MS Windows logo, the Windows key is mapped to act as the Command key"
