This is described more completely in the GUI documentation.
These strings correspond to "keysyms" on X11 systems. On X11,
physical keys on the keyboard are equivalent to <em>keycodes</em>.
A single keysym may be associated to more than one keycode, and
can even be associated to a shifted key.

<p>
On some keyboards, the default X11 mapping includes keycodes that
are mapped to one or another modifier keysym depending on whether
'shift' (or in some cases, another key) is pressed. This is the
case on some Apple USB keyboards for example: one key to the left
of the spacebar maps to "Option" without shift pressed, and "Alt"
with shift pressed. Such keyboard mappings are often useful in
non-English contexts to access accents or non-Roman characters.
However if such a key is used as a modifier in GNUstep problems can
occur when trying to use the modifier in conjunction with a shifted
character. In particular, you will need to hit and release the
modifier and the shift key in a particular order, or else things
will not work as expected, and the modifier may become "stuck". If
you experience such a problem, set <code>GSModifiersAreKeys</code>
to <code>YES</code>.
