I'll start by mentioning that my old keyboard was a bit larger and control was easy to reach with my pinky for copy/paste.
Adapting to the smaller wireless keyboard hasn't been too bad with one large exception: with command rather than control used for copy/paste there is no hope of reaching it with my pinky.
I should just bite the bullet and relearn to use my thumb to reach it instead but going between operating systems might feel a bit like switching between a backwards bicycle and a regular one.
I am wondering if I should just explore the idea of mapping a key in the area like function+c, function+v to work as copy paste, and function+t, function+w for new tab and window etc. so that I can move between OSX and Windows more seamlessly.
Being new to OSX I don't want to do it "wrong" that will lead to a dead end or really bad habit down the road (think like picking up bad programming habits early on). Is this idea OK or something I should avoid doing?
I don't think replacing the control and command keys is a good idea but function seems mostly unused so maybe having it be a clone of the command key could do.
