Hi,

I switch between a Mac and Ubuntu often. On my Ubuntu box, I use an Apple Aluminum keyboard.

I'm interested in Apple's "command" key: ? (I'm not concerned about the hardware control keys)

  • cmd-T opens a browser tab
  • cmd-C, cmd-V for copy/paste, especially in a terminal window
  • control-c maintains the same meaning in terminal (abort)

Just switching the control & command keys in Ubuntu would almost get me there, except for the special behaviour of the keys a terminal (Terminal is my most frequently used app).

Has it been done?

edit: using Gnome, not KDE
