This is not a bug, but standard behavior and mentioned in the docs. If you want to listen to meta, then you have to listen to meta and not mod. mod will capture both modifier keys. This is the browsers behavior

[terryttsai]

Maybe can update the documentation to make that more clear then?

"mod (which listens for ctrl on Windows/Linux and cmd on macOS)"

could be

"mod (which listens for ctrl on Windows/Linux and either ctrl or cmd on macOS)"

@JohannesKlauss as @terryttsai commented, from the docs its seems that mod shuld only correspond to cmd on macOS... Maybe we can reopen this as a feature request? To add a new modifier that will correspond to ctrl on Windows and cmd on macOS? Currently there is now way to achieve it, but it seems like a pretty common use case . For example, on macOS , only cmd+k opens a command menu on GitHub/Linear/Jira (ctrl+k opens the menu on Windows but not on macOS).

As a workaround, I'm using react-device-detect and setting meta for macOS and ctrl for Windows:

import { isMacOs } from 'react-device-detect';

export const MOD_KEY = isMacOs ? 'meta' : 'ctrl';

But it would be nice if we can add a modifier that just corresponds to cmd on macOS and ctrl in Windows/Linux
