    Thanks so much for this! Short, straight to the point, and made sense. I just purchased this Razer Huntsman and have been dying trying to understand how to just copy and paste with shortcuts so Thank you thank you thank you. (And yes, the keyboard is hella clicky) Now if I could just figure out these darn function keys.

    thank you so much. I got a corsair k70 se and had no idea how to use the command key. Tried for about 30 minutes and this solved my problem asap.

    Well I’m a windows user + youtuber and I was thinking about getting a Mac mini. So I think I’ll just make my keyboard more like a windows keyboard.Such as Command=Ctrl
    Control=Win key and Option=Alt

    Thank you! All I was trying to do was assign the "fn" key as the Command key. I'm so used to a Windows keyboard and I wanted the ctrl function to be in the same spot on the Apple board. The modifier keys section was a lifesaver!
