Hello, everyone!

Is there a way so that I can use the Apple/Command Key inplace of the Control/Ctrl Key? Ex.: Command+T for a new tab in Firefox instead of Ctrl+T.

Thanks!

This is easy to change, and took me a while to figure out on this forum. Review this site for a possible answer to your q:

The post says to change the keyboard model to Apple> Macintosh... And I don't have any options in the drop down. What should I do now?

Hi, I hijack this.
I've followed the blog link, but I'd really like to use command to create new tabs, close, shutdown as in OS X. I don't rely get the point otherwise.
Is it possible to do so I can use these shortcuts with commands somehow?

I did come across this one:

but its outdated and I couldn't get it to work.

Thanks!

Nevermind, it worked like a charm after a reboot.
Thanks.
