I use Karabiner [1] to make my constant jump between OSX/nix/Windows more easy by remaping ^C/^V (amongst others) without having to actually swap control and command keys via OSX's utility.

Thanks, that looks perfect. I'll persist with the Apple shortcuts for a while, but am happy that there's a nice way to make the worlds feel similar if it proves too distracting.
