Is there a way to remap keyboard shortcuts?
Now, whenever we want to use any keyboard shortcut such as cut, copy, paste, or anything that previously required the “Command” key, we’ll instead use “Control” instead to execute it. Windows doesn’t provide a simple way to remap keys without modifying the registry, but you can use third-party software that will quickly get the job done.

How can I change the Caps Lock on my keyboard?
Open the keyboard preferences and click the “Modifier Keys…” button. You can change the following four modifier keys: “Caps Lock”, “Control”, “Option”, and “Command”. For our purposes, we’re only going to modify “Control” to “Command” and “Command” to “Control”.
Where to find Ctrl + Alt + left arrow keys in Ubuntu?
Now, you can see that there are a bunch of Ctrl + Alt + up / down / left / right keybindings that weren’t shown in the Settings screen. Now you can use keybindings in other places. Thanks for contributing an answer to Ask Ubuntu!
You can also remap common keyboard shortcut combinations using Keyboard Manager. In Figure E, we will remap Break (Alt-Scroll Lock) to be Paste Text Only (CTRL-Alt-V). Click OK to complete the process. Your remapped keys and key combinations will remain in effect as long as the Keyboard Manager is turned on and Windows 10 PowerToys is running.
How do I remap the CAPS LOCK key?
In Figure C, we are remapping the Caps Lock key to be Left-Shift and moving Caps Lock to be the right-hand Windows key. Click OK to complete the process. Now, the Keyboard Manager shows what keys have been remapped ( Figure D ), so you can see at a glance what you have done in the past.
How do you remap a key in PowerToys?
Download and install the latest version of PowerToys and launch the application. Using the left-hand navigation bar ( Figure A ), select the Keyboard Manager tab and then flip the switch to the “on” position. To remap a single key on your Windows 10 keyboard, click the Remap a key button.
The destination key or button is held down for as long as you continue to hold down the origin key. However, some games do not support remapping; in such cases, the keyboard and mouse will behave as though not remapped. Remapped keys will auto-repeat while being held down (except keys remapped to become mouse buttons).
