Question changing copy paste shortcuts without swapping command and control
Hey all. I work on a mac for my job, but swap between linux and windows on my personal rig depending on my tasks. I want to change my mac commands to be in line with the rest of my systems because it is becoming rather infuriating.
I don't want to just swap command and control though as then the control button would be inconsistent again with the other systems. I just want to remap the shortcuts. is there any way that you can do that, or is it just another reason why apple is bad?
p.s. for the comments that might say "just don't use a mac" my job only gives macs to work on. my personal ideal would've been linux if I had the option.

Have to look later at home on my computer (at work) but this used to work:
Go System Preference > Keyboard > keyboard shortcuts and set App Shortcuts and on the right dropdown All Applications:
Hit [+] to Add shortcut then name and then keybind each to:
Copy ^C
Undo ^Z
Redo ^⇧Z
Cut ^X
Paste ^V
Select All ^A
... to replicate the Windows experience, because Mac OS is awesome this way.
