I'm running 10.04LTS inside VMWare Fusion on a Mac.
The Command key (aka Windows on many keyboards) is almost always behaving as if it was Ctrl, even though I done anything explicit to request that behavior.
In fact, in System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Options>Alt/Win key behavior, 'default' is chosen (rather than the 'Control is mapped to Win keys' option). However, choosing other options there do not seem to change the handling of Command, at least not as tested in the System>Preference>Keyboard Shortcuts app. (No matter what I've tried, Command-X is always detected as Ctrl-X in that app.)
I've tried:
- various options under System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Options>Alt/Win key behavior
- toggling the VMWare Fusion > Preferences > KKeyboard & Mouse > Key Mappings setup which claims to map 'Command' to 'Windows', and restarting the VM in each position
- the xmodmap lines suggested at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MappingWindowsKey
And yet, it's clear that all Ubuntu apps aren't merging Ctrl and Command, because in 'Terminal', Shift-Ctrl-C will Copy, but Shift-Command-C will not.
If the Command/Windows key was recognized as anything else ('Super', 'Meta', 'Hyper'? I don't care as long as it's not 'Control'), then I could achieve my real goal (which happens to be enabling CMD-based cut/copy/paste in PyCharm, while leaving Ctrl-X/etc available for emacs-like bindings). I think any solution which manages to make Command-X appear as something other than Ctrl-X in Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts will probably do the trick.
