20260809_Changing MacBook Air keyboard shortcuts

Motivation

I use a Mac at home but a Windows PC at work.

Conversely, on Mondays at the office, I sometimes reflexively press Cmd+c. Incidentally, I use an HHK (US layout) keyboard in both environments.

I decided to remap the Mac shortcuts Cmd-c/v/x/z/a/s/f to Ctrl-c/v/x/z/a/s/f. To achieve this, I used an application called Karabiner-Elements.

During the setup process, I consulted ChatGPT to verify the steps and check how to handle any potential issues.
