Hello All,

Is there a easy way to Map the CTRL key to the command key?

Reason is so I can use CTRL C to copy.

Or map the command key Tab to ALT TAB to switch windows, etc instead of the or in addition to the command key.

Thanks
- John

Ok, so you just want to switch the control key with the command key correct?

You can change the keys by going into 'System Preferences' > 'Keyboard & Mouse' > 'Keyboard' > then click on the 'Modifier Keys...' button. You can then change/swap any of the modifer keys you want.

Sorry, I realized I should have been more clear, my fault.

Is there a way to change copy and paste to CTRL + C and CTRL + P
And Tab windows to ALT + TAB

Hmm sorry, I don't have a clue then, and changing a paste shortcut so that it would use CTRL + P is even harder(actually I'm not sure its even possible) since that would normally default to print instead of paste (Unless you meant ctrl+v in which case never mind). Not sure if it can be done without some third party software(which I personally haven't heard of).

Just curious, from the way you want to remap and the referring to an ALT key, a windows keyboard is annoying you here? ;)

I guess just changing the modifier key as you originally suggested worked ok, but the its ctrl-tab to change windows rather then alt-tab.

Thanks!
