Windows is new, and I'm only using it for software development on Server 2016.

I'm a software engineer and have been on the Mac and Linux all my life. But that opens an XXL can of worms when it comes to configuration.Ĭajhin, I'm not a Windows person. My "big" solution to most of my issues is to use CapsLock as a hyper-key for many things.ĬapsLock-C copies. <#d::Run "cmd.exe" short syntax for: leftWin+D opens dos boxĪnd finally, that still leaves the issue of Apple keys being in different places than IBM keys. It's a nice and powerful tool, but life is easier when you can have only one config (Karabiner in your case).ĪHK scripts are quickly created and look like this: When you map "LEFT_cmd-a" to "ctrl-a", you can still press right_cmd-a to trigger "win-a" (action center).īecause I also run AutoHotkey scripts on my Windows machines. This will obviously override the native Windows shortcuts. Now cmd-c ALWAYS copies, and ctrl-t does whatever the forground app defines. and so on, for every global shortcut I use. My solution is to explicitly map all important shortcuts on Windows. You on the other hand must first consider if your script is local or remote, and hit cmd-c or ctrl-c. Let's say I want to hit ctrl-c to stop a script.

I don't use your approach, because I try hard to NOT move keystrokes around, because that breaks muscle memory. I've been doing these things for a long time. Hi, this is a bit meta, I hope y'all don't mind. So simply providing Cut, Copy, Paste is basically no help at all. Way too difficult and my muscle memory is causing too much grief to try and change my touch typing skills.

Cmd-a in Windows 10 brings up the "Action Center." Cmd-f brings up the Feedback option. That being up the start menu, argh! I often need to use the Select All command, which in RDS is Windows-a (or Cntl-a on the Mac while using RDS). I keep ending up typing the Apple Cmd key by itself, which in RDS is the Windows key. The new Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta includes the option to make the Cut, Copy, Paste options to the Cmd key (instead of the Windows key). Please make this more obvious in the documentation. It took me too much time trying to find where the. So it seems the only tool that can do the solve the problem above is Karabiner. I think the Apple keyboard preferences used to let us modify keys for specific apps, but no longer. So none of the Windows tools will let me remap the Apple and Windows modifier keys when I'm using a Mac with RDS. But (again I suspect) RDS is not sending USB keycodes. I suspect it's because the remapping it done on Windows by intercepting USB.

Attempts to modify the keyboard layout on Windows failed. I use Windows RDS from my Mac most of the day, and searched for a way to swap Cmd and Cntl keys. add the word "beta") so you know it's targeting the newer version. json (in the hidden location)Ĭhange all occurrences of "com\.microsoft\.rdc\.mac" to "com\.microsoft\.rdc\.osx\.beta"Ĭhange the description (e.g.
