I miss these macOS shortcuts when I am other platforms. For Windows, I wrote my own extensive AHK scripts to duplicate most Mac shortcuts I regularly use, including cursor movement On Linux I now use Toshy https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy

You have those AHKs somewhere online? Would love to peruse them...

  I had to clean up the code a bit and move it to a public GitHub repository. https://github.com/leejoramo/macOS-plus-AHK https://github.com/leejoramo/macOS-plus-AHK As others have mentioned it is probably worth looking at Kinto to add macOS keyboard shortcuts to Windows. I started this project years before I learned about Kinto, plus I have most of my other system customizations in here. Currently my main workstation is KDE/Ubuntu where I use Toshy for the macOS shortcuts, and have customized the rest via KDE shortcut management and my hardware keyboard.

This is one of my essential quality of life tools: https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto Decades of using the Mac convention of CMD instead of CTRL makes it hard to switch to CTRL. I get cramping super quickly when using Windows or Linux without Kinto! Of course, try explaining that to corporate IT who insist you use a locked down Windows PC... thank god I dont have to endure that anymore!

    You know what, I'll try that! Save me contorting my little finger. Although I wish we could go back CTRL defaulting to where CAPSLOCK is!

  If you love Kinto, you need to really look at the Toshy project. It is a fork of Kinto for Linux. The developer of Toshy is super active and responsive, and has moved the Kinto code to more modern technology. They have refactored the scripts to be much easier to customize and while allowing upgrade to new versions of Toshy. https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy
