            Bug ID: 35351
           Summary: Allow configuring modifier key mapping
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.10
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: winemac.drv
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: trev at adblockplus.org
    Classification: Unclassified

Currently the modifier key mapping implemented by Mac driver is: Control =>
Control, Command => Alt, Option => unbound. While this makes some sense, it
also makes sure that all keyboard shortcuts are different between native OS X
applications and Windows applications running via Wine. This is the reason for
numerous requests to remap modifier keys. With the X11 driver people were sent
off reconfiguring X11, this is no longer possible with the Mac driver.

Under http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/116546/66895 I verified that modifying
default_map in dlls/winemac.drv/keyboard.c has the desired effect, one can
define the mapping for the Control key and the two Command keys freely
(changing the mapping for the Option key on the other hand is probably not a
good idea, at least not without changes to the key handling code). What's
missing is merely a way to change the mapping in Wine, patching the binary is
currently the only solution and obviously not a great one. There should be a
way to do the same via a registry key or a configuration file.
