Chris:

FWIW Qt has addressed this with QtKeySequence, there is a table of key  
bindings for standard keys here:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qkeysequence.html#details

Note that this table may be confusing:

> On Mac OS X, references to "Ctrl", Qt::CTRL, Qt::Control and  
> Qt::ControlModifier correspond to the Command keys on the Macintosh  
> keyboard, and references to "Meta",Qt::META, Qt::Meta and  
> Qt::MetaModifier correspond to the Control keys. Developers on Mac  
> OS X can use the same shortcut descriptions across all platforms,  
> and their applications will automatically work as expected on Mac OS  
> X.

Still, it's worth a look...
