I'm with you, I find the meta key on mac messy. I personally change ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v to ctrl+c and ctrl+v in my terminal emulator so that it's consistent accross the board. This way it's clear: * meta key: my windows manager shortcuts * ctrl: app specific shortcuts

Cmd isn't really a meta key, though. It's just the equivalent of Control on Windows; there's no equivalent of a Windows key on macOS. That said, it's not quite necessary due to the decoupling of app windows and app open/close state.

Personally I find Apple's approach to key commands far and away the most well thought out and intuitive.
