Longer term, I'd really like it if you created a more flexible Keyboard preference GUI that would allow people to implement all of their crazy ideas. If somebody went through the trouble of editing a conf file that should really mean that they know what they are doing and want it! Even though this isn't my preference, it likely should be the default behavior.ģ. Make it optional to re-map Command+C/X/V to it's Windows CTRL equivalents.

Trap specifically for Command+Tab in Unity, which I think nearly everyone can agree should invoke the Mac OS X application switcher.Ģ.

You really need to make the software flexible to accommodate every user's preference.ġ. You can't please everyone if you make the program work the way any particular user wants it to work. IMO, just swapping the keys isn't the complete answer\ I'd love to hear how you'd rather it work though.
I wish Fusion let me remap keys the same way so that for Fusion, I could "remap my remapped" keys such that Ctrl goes back to the physical Ctrl key and Cmd goes back to the physical Cmd key, and this only when Fusion has the input focus.
The big problem with this is that Fusion automatically maps the Windows Ctrl key to the Ctrl key on the Mac and since I've remapped it, the Mac's \*physical* Cmd key becomes the Ctrl key in Windows and now I'm back to the same problem of tripping over every single key combo I might try to do in Windows. This mapping is great because most key combinations in Windows use the Ctrl key and most key combinations in Mac use the Cmd key yet between the two \*physical* machines, it's basically the same for my poor fingers! To make it easier for me to switch back and forth between the two operating systems, I have used the Keyboard and Mouse "Key Mapping" dialog in the Mac's System Preferences to remap the Command (Cmd) key to the Control (Ctrl) key and the Ctrl key to the Cmd key. My problems with key mappings stem from the fact that I'm a recent switcher to the Mac OS after about 15 years of using a Windows box, plus I have a development job which requires that I work with Windows extensively.
