A feature introduced in kernel 3.13 enables you to easily switch alt
and cmd
keys on apple keyboards. The following is for Fedora 20:
Switch alt
and cmd
temporarily (as root). Note that GNOME 3 didn’t seem to realize that during my limited testing, whereas Mate picked it up on the fly:
echo "1" > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_opt_cmd
Edit/create /etc/rc.d/rc.local
with the following contents to make this permanent:
#!/bin/sh
echo "1" > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/swap_opt_cmd
Make it executable:
chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/rc.local
