	One issue I have with keyd is that I use a wide range of keyboards: well really only windows and mac keyboards, and now that I'm running ubuntu on mac, I have a mac wireless keyboard (magic keyboard) and a builtin keyboard; and they have some small differences. I guess also I have a razer huntsman mini, and some more generic windows keyboards. I seem to have lost my recent basic windows keyboard purchase ... huh ... and my magsafe2 charger that came with the used computer I got?! Could do a technology spring cleaning where I take everything home and document it. anyways.................

			In particular I can see my "overlay key" using a setting key from the setup script:

			<pre>
			> gsettings get org.gnome.mutter overlay-key
			'Super_L'
			</pre>

			so I could use that with my keyd config; I actually do miss having an overlay key. Or spotlight, as was the case in mac

			I remapped command to alt and made it send escape when pressed alone, so it wasn't workin with just keyd ... the FUSION of keyd and gsettings will give me [https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1cjuqun/comment/l2ihpcb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button effective.

			gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['altwin:swap_alt_win']"

			is the snippet. I looked up how to persist this to a file, but it already persists to `~/.config/dconf/user` !! A binary file, a bit unfortunate, otherwise that would be easy to save in version control. Guess I gotta put such a script in my setup script for ubuntu, or use keyd for everything here (probably the eventual approach)
