• The meta key is the cmd key on macOS and the windows key on Windows
• The alt key is the option key on macOS and the alt key on Windows
• All testing for (in input) is done in a textarea without any event trigger overwrites (i.e. not the github editor)

Evidence and scope

This is an availability map for web-app authors. With a plain textarea focused:

• 🌳 open means the browser leaves the chord available for the app to bind.
• Any other label describes the browser or operating-system behavior that claims the chord instead.

The baseline is a clean, policy-free browser profile with a U.S. keyboard layout. On Windows, meta means the Windows-logo key, so those results are OS-level behavior rather than browser shortcuts. Results apply to this focused input context; they do not promise the same behavior in every browser surface.

New and corrected cells retain source IDs in the Markdown metadata. Their URLs, retrieval dates, and caveats are in SOURCES.md; versioned raw observations live in evidence. Unmarked values are legacy observations. A missing documentation entry is never treated as proof that a chord is open.
