Sorry, I should've added more explanation.
In Qt the meta key is, as Davide Simoncelli noted, the Windows Logo/Super key, as long as your keyboard has one.
This is a funky modifier to use in a program, since it's usually used for global shortcuts, and in fact in Gnome 3 and Unity it probably breaks altogether (haven't tried them with kdev, but they both use the win key exclusively). We should probably change all shortcuts that use meta, now that I think about it.

However, the actual reason I wanted to change this is because browsers use that combination for back and forward navigation in history, and I find myself reaching for it instinctively while using kdevelop. I imagine a fair few others feel the same about it.
