Registry file to do the Scancode mapping to swap Command/Windows with the Control keys
Primarily for Mac Users running Remote Desktops or Virtual Machines with Windows, so you don't have to switch gears from the OS X Cmd+ to the Windows Ctrl+ key combinations . Run the registry file on the target Windows as admin and it should work immediately, otherwise restart.
Note: Remote Desktop 10 has a mapping preference that maps Cmd-[C|V|X] to Ctrl-[C|V|X], if that's all you need. You can add more mappings in ClipboardActionTransformations.xml, but it seems limited to key combinations and there's no way that I could find to just swap the Cmd for Ctrl.
Other approaches are:
To map Cmd -> Ctrl and Ctrl - Cmd in your OSX settings, as shown here.
To use a tool called Karabiner for context based mapping.
