Subject: Is there a way to change C-x to s-x in Emacs without remapping physical keys?

Message-ID: <CAGcSbcU0BE8ZZDwa5vsPVWqdzG3UcuPpZV1sDZsC-JvvS77M7w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello, the Super key is not used in Emacs because it is meant for Window
Managers, but this restriction is unneeded because Window Management is
possible without this key (like with C-x).
To make CUA shortcut keys (like C-v for pasting) and ALL Emacs keybindings
work in Emacs X Window Manager without conflicting nor switching modes nor
using C-c C-q — it would be best to just globally make the commands work
using Super key instead of Ctrl key (and an additional keyboard key or
Super+Ctrl — instead of Alt)
and turn off EXWM Input Prefix Keys to prevent Ctrl key shortcuts from
being intercepted.
exwm-workspace-switch etc should be bound to C-x 6 in the logic of C-x 4
and C-x 5. (Organizing all UI with C-x 7 (and so on for hierarchy) combined
with tags and search (like in org-mode) would be interesting?).
(Programs with Emacs mode would still work as expected).
TLDR: How to globally make all Emacs commands work using Super key instead
of Ctrl key ?
