I have a Windows laptop at work, running cygwin. I'm very comfortable with its key mappings.
My ideal setup would be for my Terminal app on my Mac home computer to have the same key mappings. It's not just a matter of copying over my .zshrc and xmodmap settings.
And it's not just a mapping of switching the Ctrl and Cmd keys, system-wide (which I've already done).
Is there any generic way to have the two keymappings be identical?

Your asking for a generic way, but the problem you have is that you:
To remap your Mac keyboard you can use something like Controllermate or run AutoHotKey (using Darwine is claimed to work) to map special functions to your keys.
If you want to change your Windows keyboard use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4.
It's too bad AutoHotKey needs the Windows API so much, but if it works with Darwine, that should already do the trick for you.
Edit: Check this program too Double Command and if anyone can find the question about controlling multiple computers with one keyboard/mouse please leave a comment

actually I do use the same keyboard for both my Mac and my windows laptop. It's a Logitech keyboard. – Aaron F. – 2009-08-19T05:40:23.900
I'll look up the previous question, though it's not entirely the way I meaned it. It was a question about controlling two computers (at the same time) with one keyboard – Ivo Flipse – 2009-08-19T06:19:22.917

You can customize the keyboard map in Terminal preferences:
Terminal > Preferences > Settings > [profile] > Keyboard

It would probably help if you gave a concrete example of some keys that don't behave the way you would like. – Chris Page – 2011-09-18T01:35:20.470
