cmd is brilliant. I have to shift my entire hand downward a little to hit ctr+c/ctrl-v, and make a pinkie-stretch that I can feel straining my hand. Cmd+c/v keeps three fingers on the home row, and involves just a slide-over of the thumb by maybe a centimeter. It's great.
caps-as-an-extra-ctrl helps with all of that, but leaves you with the problem of overlapping shortcuts in the terminal. Cmd also fixes that.
I hate how hard it is to get anything remotely like it working in Linux. All the solutions are partial and very janky.
It’s a sentiment I’ve expressed many times here on HN, but I’d love to see a DE and matching set of apps designed to embrace Mac-like UX, including meta-based key shortcuts. It being like that out of the box instead of requiring a patchwork of spotty config changes and hacks brings massive value.
This is the closest thing I know, not ideal but decent:
