## Collected alternatives for modifier keys

The default words for some modifier keys are designed to match the labels on the keys themselves, but are not always efficient to say or can be misrecognized depending on your dialect/speech pattern. The following is a list of alternatives other Talon users have used. Note that community contains one `modifier_key.talon-list` file for Windows/Linux and one for Mac, since the modifier key names differ.
