Does this do more than remap copy/paste keys? Nothing wrong with just doing that, but I was a bit confused from the leading examples.

Needless addition that nobody asked for: Having recently switched to Ubuntu from MacOS as my primary development environment, I very much felt the pain of losing many keyboard shortcuts I had grown accustomed to (amongst other subtle things, like the really good default PDF viewer in MacOS, and yeah yeah yeah I know there are Linux alternatives). I ended up installing a jetbrains marketplace plugin that as-best-as-possible mimics the MacOS bindings and then just re-learned the rest and.. it wasn't TOO bad, probably a week or so of feeling like a limb was missing.



Jetbrains is supported by Kinto & the remap is better than their macOS remap layout. Leave it on their default layout & Kinto will remap it 100% to what you’d expect.

The hotkeys in the drop downs will not always line up - but that’s the price for this implementation.
