At that time, I enrolled my personal Mac Pro into the corporate network and did most of my day-to-day work from it. Getting used to a new company, a new team, a new product, a new set of technologies… all from an OS I wasn’t fluent in was just too much. Upon joining the company, I tried to do all of my work from the Surface Laptop 3 that I was given, and… well, that was quite painful. Part of the reason behind me joining Microsoft last October was to familiarize myself with Windows, as was purchasing a Surface Go 2 last summer.

While I continue to prefer macOS as a desktop environment, I’m slightly concerned about the direction Apple is taking with the platform and I don’t like the thought of being locked in. Up until last summer, I had been a macOS-only desktop user for about 15 years with the occasional peek at Windows 10 on an old PC. If so, this post will equip you with an AutoHotkey configuration file that brings macOS keyboard shortcuts to Windows. Are you a macOS user occasionally dealing with Windows systems or trying to switch platforms? Are you a Windows user that believes that the Windows-native keyboard shortcuts are objectively bad? Are you annoyed by something as simple as copy/pasting text not working consistently across apps?
