Useful, but not universal!
Authored by: pajai on Feb 10, '07 03:45:28AM

Hi GalicWizard,

Yes, you are completely right. Under X11 there is (unfortunately) no unified use of a shortcut key like under Mac OS X (native apps) or windows. For instance, this hint is not useful for Emacs users, as this app is using the Meta key for shortcuts.

However in my case, as I am not an Emacs user and lots of X11 apps I need (like inkscape, gimp, openoffice, ...) are using the control key for shortcuts, it is useful to remap the command key. But I agree with you, there is no universal solution for that problem.

Cheers,
