MAC REMAP KEYBOARD FREE

The whole thing can be implemented with the free Karabiner-Elements tool. This ensures that the 'virtual Esc key' is really only pressed when you want it to. But if you use it or also like to press it accidentally, you can also assign the escape function to a different key or a key combination. My recommendation is to remap on the Caps-Lock key (caps lock key), if you - like me - never use it. But since you need it every now and then, it has to be made available elsewhere. The solution is as obvious as it is simple: the ESC key or its function must give way to the touch bar of the Apple MacBook Pro.

This lets me cycle through tabs quickly, just like on a Mac.

This still has a bug, but it's usable enough for now

cmd+tab on Mac lets you cycle through Windows.

Here are the shortcuts I set for mac-ifying: For example, alt+tab cycles through Windows, alt+tab switches Windows, win+s opens the search menu, win+d shows the desktop, win+e the explorer, and so on. As you know, Windows has lots of key combinations that 'do stuff'™. The 'before' key goes on the left, and the 'after' key on the right. Click on each box and type the keys you want to map.

To do these mappings, you click 'Remap a Key', then the Plus icon at the bottom. You could also do this with the Windows key on the right, if you have one. Since I was overriding the Windows key, I moved that up to Caps Lock, since I never use it anyway. This is basically making the Windows key to the left of the spacebar into the Ctrl key, which does similar things as the Cmd key on a Mac. Take the first one in there - I mapped Page Up to the home key (that one wasn't Mac specific - I just kept accidentally hitting it 😉). Like the heading says, you get to map a single key.

The key feature (see what I did there?) of PowerToys that lets my keyboard be all apple-ey is the keyboard manager. There's no cmd on Windows - it just opens the start menu. Muscle memory keeps kicking in and my thumbs reach for the cmd key instead of ctrl. I switched to Windows from Mac a few months back, and I'm used to just about everything except the keyboard. My first-favorite feature is Powertoys Run - the spotlight-like feature for Windows. I wrote a bit about PowerToys previously, but today we're gonna talk about my second-favorite feature: the keyboard manager.
