This thread is confusing presumably because people are mixing up topics.

The Windows key is the same thing as the Command key.  As Scott already
mentioned, there is no physical difference between an Apple and PC
keyboard except for stickers on the keys.  On a PC keyboard, the sticker
is a Windows logo.  On an Apple keyboard, it's the Command logo.

If the Windows key is not injecting a Command key, it's a bug.  This
should work just fine with the GTK UI.  I have no idea about Cocoa if
that's what you're using.

ASCII has nothing to do with keyboards.  It's a character encoding.
