From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just make it remapable (is that a word?) and I don't really care

Remapping instructions are here

I don't use Windows, but given that their office key just sends ctrl+shift+alt+meta, I'm afraid that this could send something like meta+alt that windows users don't use, but it would be useless for some Linux users that already use that key combo.

I don't think you can easily remap keys in Windows.

Please see my explanation of what I meant by that.
