    AutoHotkey Mappings to emulate OSX behaviour with a Mac keyboard on Windows

  • This seems like a collection of shortcut remappings instead of a general window key to ctrl remap. That means that for example if Ctrl+p is not remapped, you can't use the win key.

    I have an ahk script that's have a more general approach which maps window key to ctrl. It also remap the text navigation and mac style window switching.

  • Switch

    A window-based context switcher for the Mac (by numist)

  • There are DOZEN of those apps. The one i use/contribute is https://github.com/numist/Switch

    OSX is like using windows in the 90s. You need a dozen weird apps for basic stuff.

    iterm2 still steal Option-tab on all of them.

    and replacing command-tab breaks in other apps.

    There's no solution other than to suffer it.
