Is meta the official term for that key? I always called it the super key. Just curious

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only KDE calls it "meta". Everywhere else it's either "super" or "mod4". The left Alt is sometimes called "meta" or "mod1".

It's not just kde, for example the backronym for Emacs is "esc meta alt ctrl shift"

the discussion you entered was not about whether "meta" exists as a key, but rather, which key is "meta".

No, I was specifically responding to "only KDE calls it meta."

From what I can see online the key is actually called the super key, but for some reason KDE Plasma calls it Meta on my device
Might be because I’m on a MacBook
