the main shortcut modifier key on macs is command. the main shortcut modifier key on unix is control. when apple went unix, they didn't coalese control-c and such into the mac's command-c in the terminal, so mac users who unix a lot are developing a dual-namespaced muscle memory which is, quite frankly, bullshit. (i say this as a many-decades mac user.)

now i swap left alt and left control so that the mac-shaped modifier patterns work on all other computers, and it works fine,except for 1 thing
