How about remapping the keys? [xmodmap][1] should do the trick there. Assuming that your command button is replaced with meta (I can't help you there, I don't own a Mac) this should work for you: <code>xmodmap -e "remove control = Control_L" xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Super_L" xmodmap -e "add control = Super_L" xmodmap -e "add mod4 = Control_L"</code> This will work until you end your session. **Permanent solution** 1) Make <code>~/.Xmodmap</code> file. 2) Write this into it: <code>remove control = Control_L remove mod4 = Super_L add control = Super_L add mod4 = Control_L</code> 3) You should now somehow put <code>xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap</code> to run at startup (I'm having trouble to find out how right now, will fix later).
