One of the things I was struggling to get used to was using the Apple key and “C” to copy to the clipboard. I found that sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t.

However, I found out today that it works (Apple and “C”) for native OS X software, but for software that uses the X11 plugin (such as OpenOffice) you have to use ctrl and C.

The confusion starts when you want to copy stuff from OpenOffice to a native application such as mail. You have to mix the two then!
