The Butler to the Rescue: Sane copy/paste on Apple Hardware

Finally. After weeks of searching, I have successfully stumbled upon a way to hack in "control c" as copy, "control v" as paste and other assorted keys into my mac. Of course, I found this app while looking for something totally unrelated. No more finger gymnastics reaching for that bloody command key. No more undoing ~20 years of muscle memory. No more hesitating as I switch between windows, solaris, OS X and Linux. Of course, I have already mapped the caps lock to control. I wonder if this will fix the home/end problem....



This was all accomplished using the keystroke feature in Butler.

Update: For all the X11 users, if you use this tool, I suggest setting "X11" an exception app.
