Use Mac keyboard with AutoHotkey under Windows

This AHK configuration file makes MacOs keyboard shortcuts work on Windows.
It has been used on an US International Layout.

If it's not working for applications running with admin permissions, it might be the problem that AHK is not, see this question on StackOverflow.

Erratum

I hardly recommend this adunning/Mac-Keyboard-Layouts-for-Windows instead of remapping your whole keyboard!
(If accents are important to you, because International Keyboard is quite annoying ...)

Installation

  • Install AutoHotkey
  • Run the WholeSetup.ahk file
  • Put the WholeSetup.ahk file or a shortcut to the file in your Autostart folder to run it automatically on startup.

What does it do?

As you can see, this file only includes:

  • Brightness.ahk

Maps F1 to decrease brightness
Maps F2 to increase brightness

  • MacKeyBoard.ahk

Capture entire screen with CMD/WIN + SHIFT + 3
Capture portion of the screen with CMD/WIN + SHIFT + 4

F3 -> Open Task view (virtual desktop view)
F4 -> Toogle notification tab

F7 -> Media Prev
F8 -> Media Play/Pause
F9 -> Media Next
F10 -> Volume Mute
F11 -> Volume Down
F12 -> Volume Up

RCtrl + ArrLeft -> Change to previous virtual screen
RCtrl + ArrRight -> Change to next virtual screen
Win + BackSpace -> Lock screen

  • Accents.ahk

Ctrl + E -> '
Ctrl + U -> "
Ctrl + I -> ^

Sources

The Class_Monitor.ahk file comes from this repo 👏
