## vk-meta

There are pre-defined constants corresponding to usually non-typable keys on the keyboard (see `key-names`). When a Lisp function calls for a virtual key argument, one of the pre-defined constants is suitable as an argument value. The word after the hyphen names the key, in this case the meta key.

On most platforms there is no "extra" shift key for this variable to represent, and its value is the same as `vk-alt`. On the Apple Mac, `vk-meta` is used for the Command/Apple key and `vk-alt` is used for the Option/Alt key.
