Looks like correct - the left one should be bound to NSCommandKeyMask, not
to NSAlternateKeyMask.

The problem is that nextstep/openstep mandates three basic modifiers - 

Control, Alternate, Command.

but on a PC keyboard, there is no Command key, so we have to usurpate some
other PC key and bound it to Command :-)
