Why oh why do Googles Android emulator images hard code a keyboard layout that doesn't contain a meta key. Trying to set a keymap is completely ignored. This seems like a huge issue.

@alexchapman @fireborn Alt key, I think.
@matt @alexchapman That depends who you ask. Meta is whatever the manufacturer says it is. Android considers meta something else, because alt is, well, alt, so meta goes where the windows key would be.
@fireborn @alexchapman Oh, OK. I thought Linux folks typically called the Windows key the Super key.
@alexchapman @fireborn Nah, the word Meta as a modifier key name goes way back, at least to the Emacs editor in the 80s if not before.
@fireborn Meta key? I'm confused.
