Cool, except I don't think this part is right. The Apple Lisa arrived in 1983 after a few years of development, and had these shortcuts on the Apple-key. It copied a lot from the the Xerox Alto/Star from the late 70s, though I don't believe it had the same hotkeys. IBM soon followed in those footsteps as well, which influenced Windows 1.0:
