I already know I can swap CTRL and COMMAND on a Mac via the keyboard preferences. But I want to do this for a specific app, not system-wide. (More accurately I have swapped them system-wide but I want to un-swap them for a specific app.)

I've seen other SU posts about similar things, but not for a specific app. Anyone know how to do this? I don't mind installing a driver or what have you to do this. I just really need this functionality.

Consider mentioning the specific program you want this for. Or, having a hunch what this is about, explain the problem, not what you think might be a solution. – Daniel Beck Dec 17 '11 at 11:02
Not sure how to be more specific. I want the system to swap the keys when a specific app gets the focus. Which app is irrelevant as I'm asking about modifying what the keyboard even sends to the app, which is why I mentioned a driver. If I were to replace the default keyboard driver I could define any criteria to do any number of things with the key mappings, which is why I suggested that. – MarqueIV Dec 17 '11 at 23:15

Voting to close as the user indicated in the other topic's comments that a general solution applicable for the other topic is what he needs. – Daniel Beck Dec 25 '11 at 19:01
Actually they are not the same. That post is for key combinations, similar to what yo can do in system preferences but for a specific app. I am asking about remapping actual keys themselves, similar to what you would do at the driver level This is a different thing entirely. – MarqueIV Dec 30 '11 at 4:46
