OK to replace Mac key names with symbols? #7

Would there be any objection to replacing the names of the Mac's meta keys with their conventional symbols, which should be familiar to users? So

⌘ for command
⌥ for option
⇧ for shift

Perhaps with a separate column? In that case the first line of the shortcuts table would look like:

Action Windows/Linux Shortcut Mac Shortcut
New project Ctrl+Shift+P ⇧⌘P

Note in this case that the convention is to put the shift symbol first, as is done is some of the other lines, actually, so there's a little inconsistency in the current table.

I'd be happy to add a key, if that seems desirable.

I also intend to add some missing Mac versions of shortcuts in various places in the docs (e.g., the "Print items" page) and would use the symbols there, too.
