I recently switched from a 2015 MacBook Pro to a Dell XPS 15" 9570 running Fedora + Cinnamon

The following shifts Ctrl/Win/Alt one to the left:

    clear control
    clear mod4
    clear mod1
    
    keycode 37 = Super_L
    keycode 133 = Alt_L Meta_L
    keycode 64 = Control_L
    
    add control = Control_L Control_R
    add mod4 = Super_L
    add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R Meta_L
Add this to `~/.Xmodmap`, add it to autorun (KDE and Cinnamon will autostart, Gnome needs a kick in the pants): `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap`

You can't use this on Wayland, has to be on X11, which is fine with me because Wayland has other issues.

Now you can copy/paste/cut/etc using Alt key (which is now mapped to Ctrl).
