I often find myself transitioning between MacOS and Windows, hence it’s always tricky adapting to the keyboard layouts. I decided that I want to stick with MacOS layout, hence this tutorial is about mapping Windows keys to MacOS keyboards.<\/p>

ResharpKeys<\/a> is an open-source tool that provides a user-friendly interface for remapping keys in the Windows Registry. While it’s not designed explicitly for macOS, we’ll be using its capabilities to bring a touch of Apple’s keyboard to Windows experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 1:<\/strong> Installation – You can find ‘resharpkeys’ app directly in Microsoft Store<\/a>. Press the install button and that’s it!<\/p>

There are also other ways of installing the app on your computer. Check out resharpkeys documentation<\/a> for more details<\/p>

Step 2:<\/strong> Open up ResharpKeys app<\/p>

Step 3:<\/strong> Click ‘Add’ button
Step 4:<\/strong> Select a key in the left pane you want to map to another key, app, or window. For example, I want to map CTRL button to CMD button on macos (windows button)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 5:<\/strong> Click “Write to registry” to confirm changes
Step 6:<\/strong> Restart PC and that’s it!<\/p>

Note: if you want to remove the changes you made, open up SharpKeys again, select the assigned key, then click Delete.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
