Hi,

You can reinstate your "Control" key as the primary source of keyboard shortcuts using the Modifier Keys menu. To access this menu, click the Apple logo on the toolbar and open "System Preferences." From here, click "Keyboard," then click the "Modifier Keys" button on the following window then change control^Key as ^Control.
