Hello,

I guess the question was answered already, but here are the details of
my setup. I use the standard layout in normal mac applications, but I
move ctrl globally on windows, linux and X11 on mac. The only
annoyance left is emacs in Terminal.app, but I'm working in
inputmanager haxy on and off, that might actually get finished one day
:)

On Mac

For Carbon Emacs (including Aquamacs)

  (setq mac-command-modifier 'control)
  (setq mac-option-modifier 'meta)
  (setq mac-control-modifier 'super)
  (setq mac-pass-command-to-system nil) ; prevent apple-h from working

For Cocoa Emacs (23 version)

  (setq ns-command-modifier 'control)
  (setq ns-alternate-modifier 'meta)
  (setq ns-control-modifier 'super)

Under X11 I use xmodmap. I run `xev' to get keycodes, then plug them
into xmodmap file below. (The keycodes are for X11 on my mbp.)

  clear control
  clear mod1
  clear mod2

  keycode 63   = Control_L
  keycode 66   = Meta_L
  keycode 84   = Meta_R
  keycode 67   = Super_L
  keycode 71   = Control_R

  add control = Control_L Control_R
  add mod2    = Meta_L Meta_R
  add mod4    = Super_L

And on windows I use KeyTweak http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/.

Hope that helps,
Philip.
