"lapping" should be "layout" I have no idea how I typed that.

Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
The "Command Key" as they like to call it now on the macs is not activated by ubuntu (or any linux flavour) by default, when, in my humble opinion, should be interpreted/mapped as an "Alt Gr".  This way users could use the full potential of their keyboards by default; for example in the European version of the keyboard the "Euro" key can be accessed only when "Alt Gr" is activated.

I hope this helps!
