How about remapping the keys? **xmodmap** 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: 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) put <code>xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap</code> into your <code>~/.xinitrc</code> file (make it if you don't have it) This should now be executed by xmodmap at startup.
