[Bug] macOS Shortcuts: Command and Control keys are swapped from how they are displayed in settings

MacOS

What's the issue you encountered?

On macOS, the shortcut keybinds shown in the menu / settings say they use the command key, but work using the control key instead. Likewise, when setting keybinds in the settings menu,

How can the issue be reproduced?

Verifying CMD and CTRL are swapped when using shortcuts:

1. On macOS, open ImHex without loading a file.
2. Verify that the "New File..." shortcut is supposedly set to "CMD + N" under the File menu.
3. Press CMD+N on the keyboard to create a new file.
   • Nothing happens.
4. Press CTRL+N on the keyboard, which should not be bound to anything on a default installation.
   • A new file is created.

Verifying CMD and CTRL are swapped when assigning shortcuts:

1. Go to Settings > Shortcuts.
2. Attempt to change the "New File..." shortuct. Press CMD+N as the new shortcut.
   • The new keybind that appears is shown as "CTRL + N".
   • If the settings menu is closed, pressing CMD+N creates a new file. Pressing CTRL+N does nothing.
3. Attempt to change the "New File..." shortuct again. Press CTRL+N as the new shortcut, or reset the keybind to default.
   • The new keybind that appears is shown as "CMD + N".
   • If the settings menu is closed, pressing CTRL+N creates a new file. Pressing CMD+N does nothing.

this is most likely a duplicate of issue #1757. At least, the same issue of cmd/ctrl key swapping on MacOS is also described there.

Yes, #1757 seems to be describing the same issue, but in a more narrow context. (Frankly, not sure how I managed to miss it when I searched for existing issues.)

In any case, the issue where cmd/ctrl are swapped affects ALL shortcuts (not just the pattern editor), and also affects Intel Macs (I'm on a MBP 16" 2019 w/ a Core i9).
