"Accel" virtual modifier is dropped from the latest spec because there is no API to retrieve its caption. So, anyway, web apps need to check platform for documenting or showing shortcut key list to users. Therefore, UI Event guys decided that only "Accel" virtual modifier making reduce platform check doesn't make sense.


And also, "Meta" key is now mapped to Windows key on Windows (that was mapped "OS"). So, on Windows, during pressing Windows key, .getModifierState("Meta") should return true. Of course, .metaKey too. (On Linux, Windows Logo key may mapped any keys, therefore, pressing Window key on Linux may activate "Super" modifier in most environments.)
