    I'm not sure I understand your question right. Do you want Super+key to be the same as Ctrl+key? Doesn't that mean you're reassigning the Super to behave as Ctrl does? What will the difference be, though? Commented Aug 21, 2019 at 23:19

    "Linux" doesn't have "built-in defaults". Are you asking how to make Super the modifier for your window manager operations, and if so what window manager are you using? Commented Aug 21, 2019 at 23:23

    Those shortcuts are usually built-in into applications. Some may allow you to change them, but I would not count on it. Commented Aug 21, 2019 at 23:57

    @icarus I'm on Linux Mint (cinnamon) 19.2. And yes, that's precisely what I'm asking. Commented Aug 22, 2019 at 0:22

    From a google search, it appears that cinnamon is a very opinionated window manager and doesn't allow you to configure it much. Obviously you could edit the source and recompile it. I don't have anything useful to add. Commented Aug 22, 2019 at 3:29
