  1. macOS-style screenshot shortcuts on GNOME (Fedora)

    Replicate the macOS screenshot key bindings (Cmd+Shift+3/4/5) on GNOME so muscle memory carries over from a MacBook — including the non-obvious part: Dash to Dock silently steals Super+Shift+N, and the pre-GNOME 42 gsettings keys no longer exist.

  2. Login screen keyboard layout stays QWERTY on systemd distributions (Fedora, RHEL, Arch, openSUSE)

    The greeter of GDM, SDDM or LightDM ignores the layout configured in the desktop session. On localectl-driven distributions the fix is a single command that writes /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf — which Wayland greeters read too, via xkbcommon.

  3. macOS-style Super+C / Super+V copy-paste everywhere on Fedora GNOME (incl. Ptyxis terminal)

    Remap the Super key so Super+C/V/X copy/paste/cut in every app and in the Ptyxis terminal on Fedora GNOME Wayland, just like Cmd+C/V on macOS.
