Coming from OSX, how do you handle the cmd + * to ctrl + * switch?
After years of cmd key combinations I always find hard to switch to ctrl key combinations.
The app switching with alt instead of cmd kills me too.
- steveklabnik 13y agoI've used OS X since it was called 'System 6,' and used GNU/Linux on and off for years, so it's generally just a few days of 'dammit.... Dammit. Dammit.' and then I'm fine.

A big list of possible rules are located at /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst Changing alt+tab to ctrl+tab is easy with most window managers. (I find the alt/command physical key much more ergonomic than the physical control key.)
