I personally don’t find the standard flat Apple keyboard to be very comfortable to work with so awhile back, I purchased a more ergonomically-friendly keyboard. Being a fast touch typist, I initially found myself struggling with the keyboard, especially when using the Command or Alt keys. Then I realized why: the location of these two keys was reversed on my new keyboard. Seeing that their location was ingrained in my muscle memory, I decided to simply remap these two keys so I could carry on as before.

You can easily do so in System Preferences in the Keyboard pane, by changing the mapping of the modifier keys.

To Remap the Modifier Keys

1. Select  from the menu.
2. Click System Preferences.
3. Under the Hardware area, click the Keyboard icon.
4. Click the Modifier Keys button.
5. To switch the behavior of the Option and Command keys, click the Option Key drop-down box and choose Command from the list. Then, click the Command Key drop-down box and choose Option from the list.
6. Click OK.
7. Click the Close button on the Keyboard window.
