[Bug 361462] Re: Macbook keyboard alt/win key behavior reversed, can't fix in gnome ui

 

This bug also affects 9.10 (Karmic).

I was similarly confused when 1. the Macbook keyboard layout didn't fix
the alt/win swap and 2. choosing "Left Alt is swapped with Left Win"
also failed to fix the issue.

I've been trying other options from the Keyboard Layout Options lists,
but to no avail.

OS X has a similar issue when you connect a PC keyboard, but it
maintains a separate configuration for every keyboard you connect, and
it allows you to arbitrarily define the behavior of each modifier key.
If you really want your Win key to behave as a Ctrl key, Apple lets you
have at it. Perhaps that's the way to go, rather than trying to figure
out the (kind of daunting) list of modifier swaps?
