NOTE: The Meta key is available on some keyboards which are normally located next to the Spacebar, that performs special functions when combined with another key. As an alternative, you may use the Windows logo key (on the Windows system) or cloverleaf key (on the Apple system) to fulfill the traditional function of the Meta key.
