macLikeHotKey

A macOS-Like Key-Mapping config for Windows 10/11 based on autohotkey and sharpkeys.

Usage & Features

note: this self-use keymapping is based on this repo https://github.com/stroebjo/autohotkey-windows-mac-keyboard and in addition with some custom config and improvements. Changes below are included or to be included:

  • line start and line end using CMD/WIN + Left and CMD/WIN + Right

  • line delete using CMD/WIN + BackSpace

  • line selection using CMD/WIN + SHIFT + Left and CMD/WIN + SHIFT + Left

  • CMD/WIN + F1-5 for custom app launchers

  • custom keys for vscode

  • using ALT for word-based cursor actions

  • CMD/WIN + SHIFT + 5 for fast screen recording

About how to use it:

  1. Install autohotkey and sharpkeys on target windows computer.

  2. Download this project's source and load ctrl_win_swap.skl using sharpkeys and compile keymapping.ahk using autohotkey.

  3. (Optional) Set up a customized log-in task to launch keymapping programs automatically. This can be done through Task Scheduler in Computer Management.

  4. Done.

NOTE: ahk keymappings is recommended to run with administrator. Or it will not work with privileged softwares.

Things you need to know

  1. This is a self-use keymapping config. It works perfectly for MY WIN10 COMPUTER, but it may not work well on Other environment.
  2. Be that as it may, feel free to raise an issue.
  3. custom app launchers launch apps with the paths on MY PC, so you might need to change the executable path to your own in order to make it work.
  4. As mentioned above, it's a self-use script so it won't be 100% the same as the system keymappings on macOS. If you just don't like the customed part, feel free to fork and modify one of your own.
  5. There might be a "pure mac-Like" version in the future.
  6. Finally, any contribution are welcomed.
