Description
I'm using a Macintosh-style keyboard with Loki and would like my modifier keys to work as they do in OS X. That is, I would like:
* to copy, paste, new window with Super (Cmd) by default and not Ctrl
* option/alt and the arrow keys to jump whole words
* option/alt+shift+hyphen for em dash; option/alt+e then grave accent for è
* essentially the shortcuts as the OS X column says here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts#Text_editing
I thought that by choosing the "English (Macintosh)" keyboard layout that this would happen automatically—would that be a bug or a feature request? (Is there any elementary OS-internal way to activate this? If not, what is the easiest external tool that already has a profile/config set up for this use case?)
Was recommended to take this request here from http://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/7889/use-macos-style-modifier-keys?noredirect=1#comment10873_7889
