This is why I love my macOS keybindings. I can not believe what a waste the Windows key is compare to the Command. I use extensive AutoHotKey scripts and hardware keyboard macros to compensate.

I mostly SSH to Linux, but when I use a Linux Desktop, I struggle to get the key bindings to my taste.

The Windows key is a tragic misstep in computer evolution. It should not exist.

The "Windows key" is just Microsoft branding. It was called the Super key before that, and it dates back to the 1970s.

Here's an example on a Sun keyboard, labelled with a diamond: http://xahlee.info/kbd/iold51593/Sun_Microsystems_Type_6_Key...
