Mac-like keybindings for Debian

# ~/.config/xremap/config.yml
# Mac-like keybindings for Debian + Wayland + GNOME
#
# Physical key positions (PC → Mac equivalent):
#   Ctrl  → Ctrl    (leftmost modifier)
#   Super → Option  (middle modifier)
#   Alt   → Command (next to spacebar)
#
# ⚠️  Run the gsettings commands at the bottom of this file once.
# ⚠️  Ctrl+Arrow is reassigned to workspace switching (Mac-like).
#     Word-by-word navigation moves to Super+Arrow (physical Option key).
#
# Already works with no remapping needed:
#   Alt+Tab       → app switcher        (same as Mac Cmd+Tab)
#   Alt+`         → same-app windows    (same as Mac Cmd+`)
