FYI: You can enable them in Gnome with Gnome-Tweaks. Apparently a very recent version of Gnome dropped this functionality for reasons that are beyond my understanding (but that's often the case when I look at the decisions that the Gnome devs make). However, getting the Control -> Command/Super thing to work is much trickier. The best way is to use this: https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail However when I tried that, I ran into all kinds of weird behaviours all over the OS. Also, it doesn't work with Wayland.

There are 3 options here. https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap https://github.com/autokey/autokey My advice is to skip the last one unless you need something truly complicated and a config syntax that is just insane regardless of your level of complexity imo. Of course if you just want mac based keybinds to be done for you then use my kinto app. https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto

Oh, right. I knew I forgot something. I use https://github.com/alols/xcape for some while now. It's old, reliable and straight forward, just does it's job. Only downside is that it seems to be limted to X11. Not sure how well it will play with wayland. There are now also some alternative tools, with more ability, which allow overloading just on the side. I have them on my list for a while now, but not done much yet with them. - https://github.com/david-janssen/kmonad - https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail - https://github.com/snyball/Hawck Oh, and for rermapping capslock there are also options with X11. I use setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps to map ctrl to capslock, then overload it with xcape -e "Control_L=Escape;" to add ESC ontop.

If you're still looking, I quite like XKeysnail (https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail) for that, although it does occasionally get confused. It does seem like it's something a WM should be capable of though.

Keysnail did all of this, and the author has now been working on something called xKeysnail you should check it out! - https://github.com/mooz/keysnail - https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail

Well, of course you can have consistent keybindings. You can define them yourself: https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail

Have you looked at xkeysnail [1]? I've heard it's OK but I haven't got around to trying it myself. Personally I just hit Ctrl-W to close tabs when I get to somewhere I can't use it. `fixamo` and `set csp clobber` mean that I only really ever get trapped in PDFs (as I rarely open about: pages except to do a specific thing and then immediately close them).
