Can you use Super (Cmd) as the modifier key yet? E.g. Cmd-c to copy?
I really need the opposite: the option to use control for copy/paste on Mac.

#242Earlier quoted context omitted.
The GTK team is like 3 people. GTK4 worked on improved cross-platform support, effecient gpu rendering, documentation, sandbox integration, etc. UI designers are probably limited and there is just a lot of drama about the filechooser so it's easy to find other things to work on.
The patches already exist. In fact, PopOs! already has this feature merged.
I searched PopOs! repos and I couldn't find where they maintained their Gtk-3.0 patches or code. It didn't look to me like they altered Gtk-3.0 itself at all and likely just altered individual applications.

#243Been a few years since I’ve used Gnome, I hadn’t realized they’d pivoted so much to following MacOS. It looks like they’ve taken a lot of the best parts of MacOS and built something really nice atop it.
Have a look at elementary OS (https://elementary.io), it's much more resembling MacOS.

> Super + type whatever I'm thinking, and presto, it's there. I often have several windows of the same application open at the same time (particularly browser and terminal). When I want to switch from say the IDE to the _right_ browser window, how do I do that in Gnome? (I use Workspace Matrix[0] as I'm a visual type, and that works for me, but perhaps there's a better way?)
Alt+` (key above tab on most keyboards) should allow you to switch between windows of the same application. So you do alt+tab till you get to your browser, then alt+` to pick the right browser window.
Alt+Tab is usually bound to "Switch applications", which means all of the target application's windows come to the front, possibly sending every other application window out of view.
Sometimes a more direct approach is to use the action "Switch windows" by assigning it a shortcut Keyboard settings.
