I used this software for a long time, and it is targeted at people using a regular mouse but still want to have a trackpad ish experience (and making mac more mouse friendly).

GCP control plane is generally not idempotent.

When trying to create the same resource twice, all request should report the same status instead one failing, one succeeding.

In AWS, their APIs allow you to supply a client token if the API is not idempotent by default.

This seems like a collection of shortcut remappings instead of a general window key to ctrl remap. That means that for example if Ctrl+p is not remapped, you can't use the win key.

I have an ahk script that's have a more general approach which maps window key to ctrl. It also remap the text navigation and mac style window switching.
