+\textsc{Cmd} is a pseudo key which is the same as Control for PC and Unix

+key is used for the same thing under Mac as Ctrl elsewhere (but Ctrl still
+exists, just not used for this purpose under Mac). So for non-Mac platforms
+this is the same as \helpref{ControlDown()}{wxkeyeventcontroldown} and under

+
+Notice that this function is easier to use correctly than, for example, 
+\helpref{ControlDown}{wxkeyeventcontroldown} because when using the latter you
+also have to remember to test that none of the other modifiers is pressed:

+    if ( ControlDown() && !AltDown() && !ShiftDown() && !MetaDown() )
+        ... handle Ctrl-XXX ...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+and forgetting to do it can result in serious program bugs (e.g. program not
+working with European keyboard layout where \textsc{AltGr} key which is seen by
+the program as combination of \textsc{Ctrl} and \textsc{Alt} is used). On the
+other hand, you can simply write
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+    if ( GetModifiers() == wxMOD_CONTROL )
+        ... handle Ctrl-XXX ...
