One thing I wish were easy to configure on FreeBSD and Linux that makes macOS feel more "Unixy"[1] is using Cmd+ for most application shortcuts and reserving Ctrl+ for Bash-style shortcuts throughout most textfields. [1] Yes I realize macOS is a flavor of UNIX

  Kintosh is great and is a very thorough implementation that is not simple remapping from linux/windows to mac analogs, but also considerate of conflicts in various applications as well. I believe in terminal emulators in Linux, for example, cmd+v will send ctrl+shift+v instead of simply ctrl+v. There's some drawbacks, though. Wayland support doesn't exist. It's still a "hack" rather than a system wide adoption of MacOS keybind paradigms. It can't possibly account for all edge cases. I would say if you're looking for advanced remapping of keys in linux you might want to look at Interception Tools[1] since it works on both X and Wayland, though programmable keyboards with QMK or ZMK are still going to generally be a better option.

    The amount of times I accidentally opened developer tools in the browser or started a call to a group chat in teams because my mind was stuck in ctrl+shift+ mode from using the terminal..

  Thanks! I'll check this out. This looks nicer than some alternatives I've explored in the past.
