Emacs revert-buff (su): what is su?

The emacs man page for the Mx revert-buffer command says that it is bound to "su". What the hell? I know that Mx is Meta-x (usually alt-x), and I know that Cx is Control-x. But what is su?

The β€œs-” modifier is β€œsuper”, which is a window key on a standard PC keyboard.

This makes such shortcuts unusable in Windows AFAIK, but I have a few limitations on my Linux.

I don’t know which key matches the Apple keyboard.

On Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with Emacs: 23.3.1, su matches Cmd-u.

Summary: this is your Super key.

(Emacs is nothing if it doesn't match their name - apparently this is usually Meta)
