The Command key is interpreted as the "Super" Key. (This is equivalent
to the Windows Key on Windows Keyboards). This can be tested. CMD+TAB
will activate the animated app switching behavior if compiz in enabled
which is the same as WIN+TAB on other keyboards.

However, since there are two Command Keys on Apple Keyboards, it would
probably make sense to make the right command key the same as the ALT-GR
is it is required.

Furthermore, I really don't think this is a duplicate of the other bug.
That bug deals with a lapping error in a specific language layout where
two keys are swapped.

Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
The "Command Key" as they like to call it now on the macs is not activated by ubuntu (or any linux flavour) by default, when, in my humble opinion, should be interpreted/mapped as an "Alt Gr".  This way users could use the full potential of their keyboards by default; for example in the European version of the keyboard the "Euro" key can be accessed only when "Alt Gr" is activated.

I hope this helps!
