Hi Hackers,

I'm planning to change the keyboard shortcuts to allow the user to select
"Cmd" instead of "Ctrl". As I mentioned above, only one of them could be
selected to allow working on other OS's. On other OS like windows, "Ctrl"
and "Cmd" will be treated the same, "Cmd" will be hidden and "Option" will
change on "Alt".
I also made some UI improvements like moving shift, ctrl, alt keys before
the key input and making it more compact.
Please let me know your thoughts.

New UI:
