How to Switch the Control and Command Keys on Your Mac

Are you tired of constantly forgetting that your Mac uses the command key instead of the control key? If so, there's a simple solution. You can switch the primary modifier keys in your Mac's System Preferences, allowing you to use the control key as the primary modifier instead of the command key.

To make this change, start by creating a new document and saving it by pressing Control-S. This will let macOS know that you want to use the control key as the primary modifier. Then, go into the Control Key menu and select Command.

Alternatively, you can also switch the keys from the Apple menu in System Preferences. Go to the Command Key menu and select Control. Once you've made this change, all applicable keystrokes will use the control key instead of the command key.

This feature is especially useful for new Mac users who are used to using a PC and keep forgetting that they need to use the command key instead of the control key. It's also beneficial for those who use both a Mac at home and a PC at work, as it allows them to maintain consistency between the two keyboards.

It's worth noting that switching from control to command will affect all other available keyboard shortcuts in macOS. For example, you'll need to press Command-S instead of Control-S to save a document, and Command-C instead of Control-C to copy text.

Overall, this feature is a great way to customize your Mac experience and make it easier to use. So why not give it a try?
