Going from linux vim to Macvim?

Hi,

I'll be using a macbook air fairly often, and I'm completely new to the

Mac environment. I'm used to using Gvim in Ubuntu. The first thing

I noticed is that I have two command keys on either side of space

bar, and a control key tucked away on the left side. I'm really used

to using ctrl key for shortcuts but I need it on both sides!

I googled a bit for this but I haven't found a way to make Macvim

remap all command key to control - other than manually defining

mappings with <D-> . What's the best way to deal with this?

The other issue is that when I :set macmeta , it seems to work

for my custom meta mappings, but it doesn't work reliably for

tabbar mappings that map meta-1 through 9 to buffers in 

tabbar. It seems to work a few times and then stops. No errors,

either.

Macvim also seems to have a limitation that disallows multiple

modifier keys in the same mapping.

Is it feasible to compile gtk vim in macos? What are the pro's

and con's?

Is there a guide for going from linux to macvim?

thanks!
