It gets confused and setting any new keyboard shortcuts anywhere in the system throws it off. I tried it on Linux and it did a pretty bad job. I tried Kinto.sh, which claims to bring macOS keyboard shortcuts to Linux and Windows. It would be nice to also have Windows be consistent, but I can live without it as I don’t use it often. I’m hoping to get a consistent set of hot keys/shortcuts among macOS and Linux.

I use Windows once in a while, usually gaming related or some other kind of specialized software that’s difficult or impossible to run in Linux. Basically, I use macOS for work and Linux at home most of the time. I constantly have to switch between macOS and either Windows or Linux. However, this isn’t the only difference macOS likes to quit applications using Meta-Q, whereas Windows prefers Alt-F4. The big and obvious ones are that macOS uses the command/meta for most system-wide shortcuts like cut/copy/paste, whereas Linux and Windows tend to be nearly identical and use the control key.
