Solution. Add an additional unix control key to all keyboards. Maybe actually instead of caps-lock. I think I've solved all my keyboard related problems know.

- kps 9y agoThe solution adopted by Unix-era GUIs, and the Macintosh, was to use a different key for GUI shortcuts rather than overloading Control. X11 generically calls it ‘Meta’, USB calls it ‘GUI’, Sun had Diamond, etc. It was only Windows that botched it, and the this-is-finally-the-year-of-Linux-on-the-desktop-trust-me-this-time crowd who slavishly imitate it while ignoring Unix experience.
- gh02t 9y agoFunny enough, I use the Win key on my keyboard effectively as a 'meta' for all my shortcuts in i3. It was the only key that wasn't doing anything.
