Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: Mac OSX 10.13.6
- Hyper.app version: 2.0.0 (stable)
Feature
In iterm2, you can remap the command key to be the meta key and vice versa, which really goes a long way for continuity with us emacs users. It would be very nice if we could integrate this into Hyper as well, maybe somewhere in the modifierKeys configuration area (as that already handles altIsMeta)?

Research direction
Start by locating Hyper's modifierKeys configuration and the existing altIsMeta handling. Trace how Command and Meta key events are mapped on macOS, then verify that each key can be remapped as requested in the running Hyper application.
