Copy and Paste Keyboard commands - Mac/PC compatibility

Dear All,

Is there any way to use the same (preferably Mac) copy and paste keyboard commands in the Host and Guest OS?

i.e. on the Mac, it's CMD-X, CMD-C and CMD-V keys, but on the PC, it's CTRL-X, CTRL-C and CTRL-V keys.

It's annoying to have to use the dropdowns to cut and paste between apps or remember to change from CMD to CTRL.....I would far rather be able to use the same keys all the time.

Any way to do this ?

In Unity mode, this should work.

For Windows XP and Vista you can map the command key to the control key by editing the registry. The freeware utility SharpKeys (http://www.randyrants.com/2006/07/sharpkeys_211.html) can do this for you.
