I'm a little confused as to the grand purpose here... You've added a 'command key' boolean and get and set accessors, but who would call them? and when? and why?

It's used in exactly the same way as GetAltKey, GetControlKey and GetShiftKey from vtkRenderWindowInteractor, except that it's Mac-specific, so it must live in the subclass.

It can be used in a custom vtkInteractorStyle for a Mac app, to replace or augment behaviour like:

        if (this->Interactor->GetControlKey())
        {
            this->StartSpin();
        }

In my app, I use it in a callback command to determine whether the command key was pressed when the user clicked on one of my actors. I do this so that the behaviour of my app sticks closely to the OSX human interface guidelines, which describe the differences between Shift-clicking and Command-clicking.
