Mac OS lets you swap ctrl and cmd keys. Is there a way to have them swapped on a per-application basis?

Basically I'm trying to run a terminal (via "Terminal" or X11 emulator or what not) and have the key mappings re-reversed. (System-wide, I need ctrl and cmd swapped, but that messes up my terminal, so I'd like to unswap them just when running that application)

You can use IronAHK with #IfWinActive.

  • Full rewrite apparently, with features added for Linux/Mac.

  • You'll need to download it via svn (see code.google.com/p/ironahk/source/checkout ). It comes with a makefile. Run under Mono (may need to install Mono if you haven't already - mono-project.com/Main_Page )
