/hotkeys: show "Option" instead of "Alt" on macOS #4289

Description

What do you want to change?

/hotkeys displays Alt for modifier keys on all platforms. On macOS, it should show Option (or ) instead, since that's what the physical key is labeled.

Why?

macOS users see Alt+Left, Alt+Backspace etc. in the hotkeys table, but their keyboard says Option (). This causes confusion, especially for users unfamiliar with the Alt/Option equivalence.

How? (optional)

In capitalizeKey() (interactive-mode.ts), replace Alt with Option when process.platform === "darwin". I'd like to implement this myself.
