Well, for what it's worth, mapping the keyboard is not an OS issue, but a Desktop Environment issue.

And the issue for me was Desktop Linux, as it would be for the typical Windows migrator.

XFCE makes mapping that quite easy.

I like XFCE, but i welcome you to remap (not suggest how) the specific keys as I described . For me that is one essential, though not for others.

I already did--I did it before I responded to you to be sure it could be done. IT took me all of thirty seconds to remap those keys.

Within XFCE:

  1. Choose Settings
  2. Settings Manager
  3. Keyboard
  4. Application Shortcuts
  5. Add (This is at the bottom of the list)
  6. Within the Command: window, type in the command you want to shortcut (ctrl-c, etc. Actually spell it out, don't just hit ctrl-c)
  7. Click OK
  8. hit CapsLock
  9. You're done
