You can try exporting the key mapping on Linux (Options > Environment >

- No idea if the Ctrl/Alt/Meta mapping makes any sense then
- E.g. the editor uses many default behaviors from the OS. For some of these we 
have keyboard settings where “no key sequence” actually means “use the OS 
default”. You’ll want to try changing TextEditor.GotoLine(Start|End) etc.
- The OS might grab some shortcuts away. E.g. Cmd+Space is invoking Spotlight 
on OS X by default, which is what the Linux/Windows setting “Ctrl+Space” is 
meaning on Qt/OSX, so you’ll either have to change it in Qt Creator or OS X 
keyboard/shortcut settings.
- Just to mention that as well, you can also change the scroll-wheel direction 
on OS X from “natural” to “what-every-OS-else-does” in System Prefs > Mouse

If you will do much work on Linux + OS X in the future then I’d personally 
recommend getting used to the different configurations. That way you’ll become 
comfortable on _any_ Mac and its software. I myself switch all the time between 
OS X and Linux and the switch now comes naturally. I’m more annoyed about 
differences like the Linux paste-buffer ;)
