No I haven't done that. However, what I have done is to swap the caps
lock key and the left control key. You can probably the command key as
well, but I'm not sure if OS X lets you change just one of the command
keys and not the other. I use the built in capability on 10.7. It's
probably available in other versions of OS X, but I can't verify that at
the moment. Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard, select the Keyboard
tab and then hit the Modifier Keys... button. There are other apps out
there that let you remap things in fancier ways, but for simple modifier
key remapping, this works for me.
