Mapping OS X hotkeys to Windows hotkeys

Monday, January 19th, 2009

One of the huge pain points transitioning between Windows and OS X is the muscle memory. Cut and paste is different on OS X, the iTunes track keys are different, undo is different, you get the idea.

I tried remapping the key binding in OS X to match Windows, but some applications (like Firefox, see bug 316459 and xcode) did not play nice.

So remapping the OS X keys in Windows was the next best thing, partly because the Windows Key doesn’t get used by many apps.

There are many hot key / macro apps out there but AutohotKey seems to work really well for me.

AutohotKey is an Open Source task tray app that has some pretty comprehensive macro calls. It even allows me to remap the keys on my Apple Aluminum keyboard, such as Print Screen.

My Autohotkeys script is behind the cut.

UPDATE: Script got mangled, please see this page instead.
