Specifically, which key on a standard USB keyboard gives you the same result as prees a Mac key?
I've figured out the Windows key giveds the same result as the command key, Windows Alt key = the option key, ans so forth.
Would like a "master" chart, if I can call it that.
I'm going to label the keyboards appropriately.

I've used the keyboard viewer to great advantage when I wanted to know what keys did what.
Use the specified keyboard viewer to map your keyboard to the functions.
You can also use System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard -> Modifier keys to set
So far, Googling has been useless for what I want.]
The keyboard viewer tells you the alternate function of the Apple keys. it does not tell me that if I want the functions of the option key, what key on a Windows USB keyboard do I need to press. Hunt and peck got me that key.
There's a lot of possible key combo's to go through if you have to sit and just press keys.
