> The command key has been around since 1983, but is was never labelled "Command" on the US-English keyboard, nor was that key referred to as "Command" in the documentation. It just lore that this strange cloverleaf key was called "Command", and passed down through oral tradition. Apple finally labelled the key in the late 2000s.
Nope. It was referred to as the "Command Key" many, many times in the original 1984 Mac manual. See the index:

The NeXT workstation, circa 1987, actually replaced the cloverleaf symbol with the word "Command".
