I think MacOS got something right by using its Command key for "desktop-wide" shortcuts that aren't specific to one application, (kind of) leaving Ctrl and Alt

I think MacOS got something right by using its Command key for "desktop-wide" shortcuts that aren't specific to one application, (kind of) leaving Ctrl and Alt for applications. I generally try to follow this pattern when possible. But I really do wish that it was easier to get a consistent look and feel on Linux, including key bindings.
