Hello! I see in two places two different sets of OS, which one is correct?

Good catch. This is a mistake.

In generall MacOS and OpenBSD are only "tolerated" (see README.md). They will not throw errors as every unix system should work, but I do not offer active support for them. They will not be tested and issues for these operating systems will not be actively handeld.

This probably came about, as the key file is just there for backwards compatibility. Its only relevant if someone uses import readchar.key instead of from readchar import key or import readchar, which is rare.
