I have scoured the web, and I can't seem to get Xmodmap / anything to work properly. I want to swap BOTH my Command keys with my Control key - in essence, inverting what they do currently.
How would I do that?
I tried xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = Control_L"
and corresponding commands for keycodes 134 (right command) and 37 (control left). I even tried these commands, plus xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
and xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
in .xinitrc
.
My end goal is I want HUD / Dash to come up when I click control
and command
to functional control, i.e., control-v
is a commond shortcut to paste, i would click command-v
