This AutoHotKey script seeks to deliver all the superior MacOS keyboard behavior you love in Windows!

Prerequisites

1. A Windows-style keyboard; this solution is not designed to work with a Mac keyboard

2. AutoHotKey installed on your PC. This script uses AHK V2

3. Swap your Ctrl and Alt keys using SharpKeys. Open SharpKeys and Load keys "swapkeys.skl" - Note: I would reccomend physically changes the key caps around or placing stickers on top.

Usage

1. Prerequisites first!

2. Create a new mac.ahk file in the location of your choice. I recommend ~/Documents/AutoHotKey/mac.ahk.

3. Open your newly created file in a text editor such as Notepad.

4. Copy the contents of mac.ahk into the file you created and save changes.

5. Run the file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer.

6. Optionally, you can use Ahk2Exe and turn script to exe place in startup folder (If you want an icon use mac.ico). - This lets the script will start whenever you start the your computer.
