The only key equivalents that Apple requires (and then only for programs that
have an Edit menu) are: Z=Undo, X=Cut, C=Copy, V=Paste.  B=Clear is also
suggested, but only if the program doesn't need to use B=Boldface in a font
style menu.  The only reason for choosing those particular keys is that they
are all next to each other, right above the Command key(left-Amiga).

Just

you'd

know.
