How about "Meta1" then?

Subject: [PATCH] gitk: Add accelerators to frequently used menu commands.

This commit documents keyboard accelerators used for menu commands in the menu, as it is usually done, and adds some more, e.g. F4 to invoke Edit View.

The changes include a workaround for handling Shift-F4 on systems where XKB binds special XF86_Switch_VT_* symbols to Ctrl-Alt-F* combinations. Tk often receives these codes when Shift-F* is pressed, so it is necessary to bind the relevant actions to them as well.
