cut-paste and keys

Is there a way to sync up some of the keys between Mac OS X and Windows XP so cut-paste is the same key combination in both? As in, set cut/paste in Windows XP to match Apple's applec, applev rather than ctrl+c/v.

A lot of people are asking for the ability to map the Command key to their liking... this would solve your issue if you were able to map command to control.

Exactly. Doesn't Parallels do this?

It's almost comical watching myself work. Textfields with s, v, c all day long.

I use iKey on the mac (shareware macro thingy) to make ctrl-c and ctrl-p work as cut and paste on the mac side. That way they are both the same.

Hi,

So far I found InputRemapper to be a best tool for remapping keys on Macs running Windows: http://www.olofsson.info/index.html?inputremapper.html

When booting native bootcamp, this tool offers you alot more than remapping, e.g. fan control and automatic screen and keyboard backlight adjustment.
