If like me, you swap between Mac and PC you'll have been irritated by everso slightly different keyboard layouts. So here's my Apple Extended UK Keyboard Layout for Windows Installer. https://trueffiles192.weebly.com/supertab-3-0-3-download-free.html.

When I wrote it I was using one of these:
But since the Apple full-size layout hasn't actually changed since then, I still use it for my aluminium keyboard. Flavours 1 0 10.

I do this as I work both on Mac and Windows machines and this helps me to easily switch between the two without breaking my workflow. Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. This tool may not exactly be like the other remapping tools on this list, but it does let you define your own keyboard layouts from scratch. And, if you want, you. That 'keyboard layout creator' tool should be able to remap all badly mapped keys. My main concern (after studying the differences) would be having a Windows key (I use it for Win+L all the time), then the PrintScrn key (that Mac keyboards don't have, so I'm hoping to map one myself) and then Delete and Backspace differentiation (which again. The Mac layout is, from the left edge of the keyboard: the control key → the alt/option key → the CMD key; for PC, it’s: the control key → the Windows key → the alt key; By default, your Windows key will become the CMD key. So to convert the keyboard to the native Mac layout, you’ll have to switch the keycaps between the left alt. But since the Apple full-size layout hasn't actually changed since then, I still use it for my aluminium keyboard. Swapping between Mac and Windows. In addition - even if using a PC keyboard - a Mac-PC swapper will undoubtedly suffer repeated Cmd and Ctrl shortcut confusion: You want to type Cmd-X for cut and suddenly the Win-X menu comes up.

Swapping between Mac and Windows

In addition - even if using a PC keyboard - a Mac-PC swapper will undoubtedly suffer repeated Cmd and Ctrl shortcut confusion: You want to type Cmd-X for cut and suddenly the Win-X menu comes up instead.

My preferred solution for this is an AutoHotkey script, partly because after using Autohotkey for a few weeks I realised it was an utterly brilliant, all-singing, all-dancing customise-your-Windows-in-every-way tool, with an all-but-zero footprint.
My script is https://gist.github.com/chrisfcarroll/dddf32fea1f29e75f564, which also has shortcut keys for arranging windows on a big screen.

The other reason I use autohotkey is that it enables a cherry-picking approach to swapping or duplicating Cmd-key/Ctrl-key shortcuts, which I find works much much better than doing a straight Cmd<=>Ctrl key swap. I got this approach from the keyboard layout used by Parallels on the Mac, which simply duplicated common shortcuts such as Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V to the Cmd-key. If you swap regularly between Mac & PC, this approach works well.

Inverting Mouse Scroll Direction

Since about the time that iPhone launched, OS X scroll direction, both mouse and keyboard, has used the metaphor of 'push the document up to move it up the window' rather than the previous 'push the scroll bar up to move the document down the window.' Windows has stayed firmly on the scrollbar metaphor.
Oddly enough, Microsoft mice come with a Windows driver that let you reverse scroll direction via the UI. For other mice, you can FlipFlopScrollWheel. Oddly, this is not per-user but per mouse/usb port combination, which means if you plug the same mouse into a different port it's scrolls in the opposite direction.

Back to the Keyboard

If you do want a more complete Cmd<=>Ctrl key swap, then you do it with Randy'sSharpKeys.

Warning! You can't swap keys around with it so do just this: map Left-Windows key to Left-Control. The right windows key will then still open the Windows menu and do all the Windows-Key stuff that it should do, such as Windows-L for Lock screen/Switch User:

If you want other keyboards than Apple UK, download the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to tweak your layout.

I recently started running windows 10 on my MacBook air via bootcamp and for the most part the included keyboard compatibility driver has done a good job of making windows usable.

I have however noticed the @ and ' symbols have swapped places. Even weirder is that the 2 and the ' symbol (the regular functions of both keys) are mapped correctly. I tried re mapping via the registry and this does fix the special functions but in turn swaps the correctly mapped regular functions. Has anybody had a similar experience, know what is causing this or how to fix it?
