Ok, I understand what you are trying to do now. The only solution I
can come up with requires a bit of set up, but you won't need to
install anything.
For example, here is how to set up Ctrl-C to Copy in MacVim:
1. Open up System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Click the "+" button in the lower left
3. Fill in the boxes as follows:
Application: All Applications
Menu Title: Copy
Keyboard Shortcut: ^C
(Hold down Ctrl and "C" simultaneously in the last step.) Now repeat
steps 2 and 3 for each menu item that you want to rebind to use Ctrl.
This will only work for shortcuts that appear as menu items, but most
Cmd-key combinations do appear on menus. You can choose "MacVim"
instead of "All Applications" if you only want the keys to change in
MacVim, but from what I can tell you want to change it for all
applications.
