Feature Request: keyboard "normalization" about cord HOT 3 OPEN

This would be a great feature to have, but in the mean time I found a decent workaround. Install KeyRemap4MacBook (http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/). The developers of KeyRemap4MacBook made their application aware of CoRD specifically (I checked the default XML configuration) but CoRD is lumped in with other Remote Desktop Connection software so you won't see CoRD mentioned in the GUI.

Once KeyRemap4MacBook is installed, open it's preferences and go into the "For Applications" section. Expand the "Enable at only Remote Desktop Connection Client" section and check/uncheck the options there to match your personal preferences. I checked all three options myself. In CoRD, open preferences and uncheck the "Send Command Key" option. Copy, paste, etc. with the command key will now work in CoRD when connected to a remote server. The downside is you won't be able to copy/paste normally when in CoRD's connection Inspector and you lose the functionality of Windows key shortcuts (Win+R, Win+E, etc.) in your Remote Desktop session.

It's far from perfect but I think I can live with the shortcomings for now.

@Hopscotch I'm loving your work here - have made the changes as above to a local build and like you am finding this something of a relief...

Being a copy-and-paste developer I don't really understand much of what you're doing, and would be even happier if cmd-S would act as CTRL-S on a remote machine - I seldom make changes to CoRD, so don't need cmd-S to save changes there, and having to use alt-cmd-S to save remotely is a bit of a pita...!

Thanks for this - it's a great step forward and any further guidance greatly appreciated...!

I'd very much like to see this become a feature or at least option in CORD to align it further with other remote access solutions (Synergy, CotVNC, TigerVNC, Microsoft RDP) which perform this kind of normalisation to allow local keyboard shortcuts to function on the remote host seamlessly.
