            Bug ID: 58019
           Summary: All HKCU\Software\Wine keys should also work when put
                    into HKLM
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.3
          Hardware: aarch64
                OS: MacOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: registry
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
          Reporter: winehq(a)agowa338.de

Hi,

I originally just wanted to swap my Control and Command key. After a while I
finally made my way to Bug #35351. (note: I didn't find any documentation about
this besides that issue and a bunch of websites with outdated statements like
it isn't possible and one has to use 3rd-party hotkey tools).

I then noticed the solution https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35351#c6
but accidentally at first configured these settings within HKLM instead of HKCU
as the key "HKLM\Software\Wine\Mac Driver" did already existed where as
"HKCU\Software\Wine\Mac Driver" did not. And to my surprise it didn't work
then.

I think this is a bit unintuitive and therefore would like to suggest that
everything that currently checks for a value within "HKCU\Software\Wine\*"
should fall back onto "HKLM\Software\Wine\*" if it is absent.

Would this be possible to implement in a kinda generic way? It is also more or
less what Microsoft Windows does (for the most part at least).
