Basic AutoHotKey script for people who use Windows but prefer macOS hotkeys, such as if you use Mac at home and Windows at an office.
As a bonus, there's a registry key remapping that addresses a minor inconvenience with specific placement of Print Screen, Page Up and Page Down buttons on some keyboards. See details below.
| Feature | Windows | macOS original |
|---|---|---|
| Spotlight / Start menu | Ctrl-Space | Control-Space |
| Language switching | Alt-Space | Command-Space |
| Tabs closing, opening and focusing location bar in Chrome | Alt-W, Alt-T, Alt-Shift-T, Alt-L | Command-W, Command-Shift-T, Command-T, Command-L |
| Tab reopening in Chrome | Alt-Shift-T | Command-Shift-T |
| Open link in a new tab in Chrome | Alt-Left Click | Command-Left Click |
| Copy, Paste, Cut and Undo | Alt-C, Alt-V, Alt-X, Alt-Z | Command-C, Command-V, Command-X, Command-Z |
| Find | Alt-F | Command-F |
| Bold, Italics | Alt-B, Alt-I | Command-B, Command-I |
| Save, Save As | Alt-S, Alt-Shift-S | Command-S, Command-Shift-S |
Note that if you had previously remapped keys via the registry, importing the registry file above may override them.
