This information is good to hear. Those with a Windows key on their keyboard
shouldn't have a problem using it as the command key. Those who don't have a
Windows key can use the -command-key option to set it to any key they want.
The only problem I have now is how to send more than one key value at a time to
the guest OS. Any ideas would be great.
