I am in a similar situation for the last four months. I have no choice in evening asking for a Mac, and am working on a high end Dell workstation. I have used computers for over 30 years and most of the last 20 have been primarily with Mac desktops and Linux servers. My Windows experience has mostly been to run single apps and some servers. Fortunately. I have been allowed almost complete free range to install software on my Windows system. Windows lack of efficient keyboard Control has frustrated me the most. Some of this is learning a new system, but some is flaws in Windows. I have used the following to make my experience better: 1. Listary This is the closest replacement I have found for LaunchBar. (Or whatever your preferred cmd-space tool: Spotlight, QuickSilver, Alfred) http://www.listary.com http://www.listary.com 2. AutoHotKey & FastKeys This replaces Keyboard Maestro. FastKeys is mostly a polished front end for AHK, but I do use both independently. I use this for MANY things, but the biggest is to remap the cursor keys to be Mac-like. (I know this is a VERY personal preference, but I love the Mac cursor key-bindings, and hate the separate Home, End, PgUp, PgDn keys on Windows) http://www.listary.com http://www.listary.com https://www.fastkeysautomation.com https://www.fastkeysautomation.com 3. AquaSnap I use Moom on the Mac, AquaSnap actually out does any utility on macOS. https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap 4. Cmdr For terminal, I have found cmdr to be the best. http://cmder.net http://cmder.net Also, Microsofts new Linux layer is pretty good, and you can get an nice local shell and unix tools. GRIPES My biggest gripe with Windows is the lack of a good way to switch windows and apps via the keyboard. On the Mac I use cmd-space to LAUNCH OR SWITCH to an app, and cmd-` to switch the windows of an app. I have found nothing to replace the elegance of this functionality. The closest that I have come is a combination of using Listary and Switcheroo. http://www.switcheroo.io http://www.switcheroo.io Finally, I am a bit appalled at the Windows small utility software that is available. I always thought that being on macOS I was limited in the availability of software options. I now strongly feel that macOS has more quality options in most areas. The Windows software is hard to find, hard to determine the Trustworthiness of the developer, and I am struggling to find great Windows power user blogs. (Why does so much Windows software have websites that look like 2003 and still use SourceForge!?) I have found that the best way to find software for Windows is: https://alternativeto.net https://alternativeto.net Hope this helps
