Is it possible to swap the keys on n900?
 
i m tired with ctrl+c for copy the "C" is too far from my right hand thumb!
I wonder if C takes place of "P" or "L"

easy to copy for me and paste at least

do you also feel like me?

i mean there should be some application for this and there should be offcource a "default" botton in it to reset the kyes.

i really miss many apps in maemo as compare to the android
(i m not saying that there is key swapper available for android)

To just swap the keys is relatively easy and it doesn't requires any programming knowladge. But you want to change function also and I don't think that only swapping keys is enough. You can try and you will know.
On mine N900 I replaced currency symbols with extra letters present in my native language.

I THINK if you change something else to C, then that Ctrl+C will be the same as the hardware Ctrl+C. The only question is: How okay are you with mapping your C to something else, and then where do you put it? (I personally am fine reaching over with my right thumb to the C. I suppose there's different ways to hold it or something. But yeah.)

You MAY also be able to find one of the custom Hildon Desktop packages, or get someone to compile one for you - that lets you change the keyboard combination mappings - I don't know if the one I'm thinking of lets you edit the default ones, but I'm sure it does.
