Description Elijah El-Haddad CLA 2014-02-03 13:34:33 EST 
The Apple Command key has a unique symbol which is usually used by software applications when displaying it in a keyboard shortcut. The Orion client should also use that symbol instead of the "Cmd" string it currently uses. This can be done by simply using the appropriate Unicode symbol (&#8984;). The symbol will show up in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu as well as the dropdown menu items which have associated keyboard shortcuts.

The same is true for the Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys. All of them have &<keyword>; style HTML characters that can be used to display the appropriate arrow instead of the "UP", "DOWN", "LEFT" and "RIGHT" strings that are currently used.
