This solution might not behave as expected in all applications, but this is only jury-rigged until someone fills the feature request on Launchpad. Gsettings set .keybindings show-desktop "" Gsettings set .keybindings expose-all-windows "" You'll need to deactivate the shortcut conflicts with the Keyboard preference pane, or use these: gsettings set .keybindings expose-windows "" Keep the rest of the defaults and repeat.Set the hotkey (e.g., press Cmd+T, which will show as +T).Add "New" item and put the existing shortcut in the text field (e.g., +T).Open AutoKey from the Applications drawer.

(for each, remember to add both left/right up/down pairs and to add highlight versions by adding as a separate entry) + 🠆 + words I suggest the following remaps (install directions follow the list): +C 🠆 ⌘+C copy When a shortcut already is in use but just needs to be mapped to the familiar shortcut, AutoKey is the fastest solution for now. Remember the idea is not to simply make the Super/Command key a clone of the Control key (the Control key has its own specific uses in Terminal and elsewhere). In the meantime and short of rewriting the actual system shortcuts (which is the longterm solution), I'll try to list what I felt was the best way to approximate the OS X experience in elementary OS. Super+W -> Close a tab in whatever browser Im in. Super+T -> Open a new tab in whatever browser Im in. So I futzed around with this for a day (gsettings, built-in shortcuts, xkb, xmodmap) and no turnkey solution is forthcoming, though I filed a feature request that might lead somewhere. Id like to be able to make Ubuntu use the same keyboard shortcuts as OSX System Wide, for the following keyboard sequences only (ie I dont want to make Ctrl act like Super) Super+C -> Copy.
