One should point out though, that the Mac uses meta keys only for very
special operations, or quick hacks.  You don't need to use them to do
"normal" things like moving windows about and stuff.

Generally, Mac programs use the shift/option/command keys for shortcuts,
like option-click in the close box closes all open windows when in the
finder sorts of things.
