```bash
xwininfo -root -children
```

Use this configuration in the .Xmodmap file to swap the behavior of Control and Command keys in X11 applications. Ensure 'Enable key equivalents in X11' is unchecked in X11 preferences.

```xmodmap
! Switch meta and control
keycode 67 = Meta_L
keycode 63 = Control_L
keycode 71 = Control_R
clear mod2
clear control
add mod2 = Meta_L
add control = Control_L Control_R
```

--------------------------------

### Map Left Option Key to Alt_L in X11

Source: https://inkscape.org/learn/faq

Paste this content into the .Xmodmap file to define the left Option key as Alt_L for all X11 applications. Restart X11 for changes to take effect.

```xmodmap
keycode 66 = Alt_L
```

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/mouse-button-modifier "'Super'"
```

--------------------------------
