Unless there is a wildcard method and the ability to create specific app exceptions, for things like terminal apps, you're still in for a world of hurt. Launchpad Details: #LPC Santiago - 01:32:12 +0000Įdit: The more I think about this, it would be interesting to see a global hotkey fix on the gtk and QT framework layer level, if that is possible and according to this link I found it looks like it might be, but the issue may be the fact that it looks like it requires manually creating all the possible keybindings you'd want. So overall I think most of these things can be solved by creating a better English (Macintosh) layout, and changing some of the system keybindings, but we would have to check for conflicts with default ones like Super+T to open the terminal. I think you actually do want to remap Super as Control, and then look at Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts and change the ones you like, from Super+ to Ctrl+. But still, another problem with this is it goes against the design decision on elementary of having most system wide shortcuts assigned to Super, and leave Ctrl for application specific shortcuts. It depends if the application provides a way to modify them, this is why the easy thing to do here is to put Ctrl on the Super key, then applications won't even know what happened, and it will work everywhere. The problem here is applications are the ones that choose what to do here, so this may be an Epiphany, Chrome, or Files thing.

I don't use OSX so I don't know exactly which features you require, but from your description it seems that implementing a solution for this would require touching several different aspects of the system, and it isn't a very straightforward task. Want to back this issue? Post a bounty on it! We accept bounties via Bountysource. Was recommended to take this request here from I thought that by choosing the "English (Macintosh)" keyboard layout that this would happen automatically-would that be a bug or a feature request? (Is there any elementary OS-internal way to activate this? If not, what is the easiest external tool that already has a profile/config set up for this use case?) essentially the shortcuts as the OS X column says here:.option/alt+shift+hyphen for em dash option/alt+e then grave accent for è.option/alt and the arrow keys to jump whole words.to copy, paste, new window with Super (Cmd) by default and not Ctrl.I'm using a Macintosh-style keyboard with Loki and would like my modifier keys to work as they do in OS X.
