When editing a wiki page you're right. The Accesskey is ctrl on IE5/Mac and 
it's variations of the alt key on most other browsers. The exceptions to 
this tend to be Firefox 2 with alt-shift, Opera with shift-esc, and ancient 
browsers that don't support Accesskeys.

Getting back to where this all started, the instruction in question is "use 
CTRL S to save"
That's only valid if the browser is something like IE5/Mac

It could be a lot better if it said
"Accesskeys differ according to your browser." which links off to a page 
that explains about Accesskeys, followed by "use ACCESSKEY S to save"
