I know you are looking for specific customizations for your key combinations that you have been unsuccessful in finding on Linux.
However that does not negate the ease and breadth (greater than Windows) of customization overall.
More than that.

Which I have not found, as regards ease of enabling the range of such, and finding solutions. Maybe Windows may become so restrictive in this area - which includes reverting MS latest minimalist moves - that it would make it worth the time and energy to learn how to customize, enhance a Linux distro the way I have Windows.
Note that this my penchant for customization in the interest of efficiency (and appearance) also extends to browsers, which is why I run multiple installations of portable Firefox concurrently, each generally for its own purpose, along with two stand-alone installs of Vivaldi, and one of Floorp, with many extensions, all of which hacked to enable multiple tab rows. On a system with 128GB Ram, and a Ryzen 3200G CPU, and NVME system drive besides SSD's.
And for years I have not had security issues, despite extensive Internet use, and free software, thanks, glory be to God.
Since Linux can run Firefox, etc,. and LibreOffice, then migrating can be done, though I want to run as root.
But in short, switching to Linux lacks warrant for me, and my responses are partly a reaction against the push of Linux as if Windows should have no appeal.
Thanks for replying.

Except these key combinations are available on linux, and I have linked him to instructionals several times. And since he is so hot on 3rd party apps here is a GUI mapping app for Linux.

Absolutely, right down to the very code line customization if you like. There is not one thing you cannot customize in Linux. WITHOUT any 3rd party apps other than an editor. For the average normal user all the boxed default tools and apps are plenty MORE THAN ENOUGH.
daniel1212 and I have been over this many many times. And I respect him very very much and appreciate all his great knowledge of windows he shares with everyone, it is priceless. But he judges from the stance of an extreme super power user and one of that 2% who has such an extreme fetish and addiction for baubles, bangles, and window dressing. He still has trouble putting himself in the shoes of the average user who is never ever going to need or use all those tons and tons of detailed personal customizations.
And it is not fair at all to judge Linux from that extreme of a position and convince folks it is not a good as windows just because HE cannot personally satisfy his own extreme power user fetishes. He just cannot separate his own extreme needs as a super power user from the needs of a normal average user. They just cannot be judged the same at all and I really wish he would take into consideration the needs of the normal average user rather than just his own very very extreme needs as a super power user.
While most just want a nice car to drive, daniel1212 personally wants a rocket ship and thinks everyone else should have a rocket ship too. Linux is a fine and great car to drive. Very few want to build a rocket ship let alone fly one like daniel1212 does.
