From Musca
Musca has a set of default key bindings. Each binding simply executes a command. All Musca key bindings start with a modifier key (M below), which is bound to Mod4 by default. Mod4 is usually Super_L or the left hand Windows key. This is most convenient as it leaves Ctrl/Alt free for application use.
