The last time I’m going to refer to it as the Windows key is in the title and in this sentence. We’ll go by it’s rightful name, the Super key. To make mine extra super, I cover the Windows logo with a Linux Penguin logo. I got this one from ThinkPenguin.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

After using a Mac for about a year<\/a>, I started to really like the approach of using the Command key for clipboard operations. Mostly because I still use the command line very often and I want to continue using Control+C for cancel<\/em>. It’s like having your cake and eating it too. Why not put the Super key to use on my Ubuntu system for the same purpose?<\/p>\n

We’ll cover the setup on several different applications. I like to add Cut, Copy, Paste at a minimum as well as Select All and Undo (since the A and Z keys are also in the vicinity). In cases where it’s possible, I’ve also mapped Redo as Shift+Super+Z since some programs would use Shift+Control+Z for Redo.

I’m not going to cover all of the applications that I use, just a few to get you started \ud83d\ude42 What I like about my approach is in most cases I’m not overriding Control+A\/Z\/X\/C\/V. We’re augmenting it by adding Super+A\/Z\/X\/C\/V so using the control key will still work.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we’re going to cover:<\/p>\n
