I have a Javascript file that detects key codes, but it is set to react to Windows keyboard keys. How would I adapt it to work with a Mac keyboard?

Code:
	// Hotkeys
	document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e){
		if(e.shiftKey && !e.ctrlKey && e.altKey){
			switch(e.keyCode){
				// Edit styles with Alt+Shift+E
				case 69: editStyles(); break;
				// Unblock elements with Alt+Shift+U
				case 85: unblockEle(); break;
				 // Block element with Alt+Shift+B
				case 66: blockEle(); break;
				// Unblock latest element with Alt+Shift+L
				case 76: unblockEle(true); break;
				 // Block elements (don't use nth-child) with Alt+Shift+W
				case 87: blockEle(true); break;
			}
		}
	}, false);

The Alt key is the problem. I guess the Alt/Option key on a Mac keyboard is not the same as the Alt key for Windows. What name would I give to have that key recognized?

Thanks. Interesting article, but I wonder how much of it is current? The Option key should be the same as Alt, but it does not seem to work that way. I tried rearranging the keycodes to use the Command key with another key and the Shift-Cmd-E combination does something using ctrlKey. Apparently the Cmd key should be metaKey, but not with Opera.
Perhaps it is the whole Javascript that is not workable on a Mac. I wish I knew more about how that works. It works fine on Windows Opera.

unfortunately as i always say with Javascript is most try and error.
