Windows Keyboard for Mac v0.2.0

This is the first generic GitHub preview of Windows Keyboard for Mac.

Highlights

  • Familiar Windows-style shortcuts on a selected physical Windows keyboard.
  • Per-device isolation that leaves built-in, Apple, virtual, and unconfirmed
    keyboards unchanged.
  • Automatic discovery of each Mac's input-source shortcut for Win+Space.
  • Transactional installation with backup, live readback, rollback,
    diagnostics, and uninstall.
  • No app-specific shortcut defaults, personal keyboard identifiers, telemetry,
    or network requests.

Requirements

  • macOS 15 or newer
  • Karabiner-Elements 15 or newer
  • A connected physical Windows keyboard
  • Default macOS Modifier Keys and no active hidutil UserKeyMapping

Install

Download the release ZIP and matching .sha256 file, verify the checksum, then
follow docs/quick-start.md.

Known limitations

  • The preview .command bundle is not Apple-signed or notarized.
  • Karabiner-Elements must be installed separately and its Apple permissions
    must be approved manually.
  • Physical shortcut smoke testing is required on each newly enrolled keyboard.
