I've looked some more into this, and it seems that the confusion is because Qt 
on Mac maps:

Command/Apple key -> Qt::Key_Control
Ctrl Key          -> Qt::Key_Meta
Alt/Option Key    -> Qt::Key_Alt

because the use of the Command/Apple key is similar to how in Windows and KDE 
the Ctrl key is used.
This results in Command-S being Save, Command-A being Select All, which seems 
to be the way it's supposed on Apple, but it creates confusion if 
cross-platform documentation would say Ctrl-A is Select All, because this isn't 
true on Apple. Maybe the Apple GUI guidelines can answer how it should be.

How do other widget sets handle this? do they use: 
Command/Apple key -> Key_Meta
Ctrl Key          -> Key_Control
Alt/Option Key    -> Key_Alt
