Summary

Updated keyboard hints throughout the application to display the correct modifier key based on the platform (⌘ for macOS, Ctrl for Windows/Linux) instead of hardcoding the macOS symbol.

Changes

Created new platform.ts utility module that detects the platform via window.electronWindow?.platform and exports a metaKey constant that resolves to "⌘" on macOS and "Ctrl" on other platforms
Updated keyboard hint displays in text-editor.tsx to use the dynamic metaKey variable instead of hardcoded "⌘" symbol for both ⌘+Enter and ⌘+M shortcuts
Updated keyboard hint display in configure-stream-step.tsx to use the dynamic metaKey variable for the ⌘+Enter shortcut

Implementation Details

The platform detection leverages the Electron window object's platform property, which is set to "darwin" on macOS
The metaKey constant is exported from a centralized location to ensure consistency across all keyboard hint displays
This change improves UX for Windows and Linux users by showing the correct modifier key for their platform
