I really love this app! I was using another key-mapping software before, but it didn't fully meet my needs. I recently stumbled upon your app through a Google search, and it looks great so far.

When someone needs something like it I usually suggest Karabiner-Elements… but your app looks more simple. I'll take note of it for future suggestions.

Kudos for this. Transitions can take time, so clever idea that will help new macOS users acclimate.

If you've spent a lot of time typing on Windows it'll be pretty challenging to unlearn deleting words with ctrl+backspace… I can see this app being helpful if you switch frequently between two systems.

I used Karabiner before since I have to switch between multiple times daily, I'll definitely check this out.

The keymap switching actually takes time when transferring from Windows to Mac.

Totally get you. I still use my Windows desktop PC. And the CTRL/CMD always trip me.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How to setup for the first time?⌄
Download the .dmg, install the app, enable standard function keys in macOS Settings, grant Accessibility when prompted, then press Start. If Start does not work, quit with Cmd+Q, reinstall, and grant Accessibility again. Full screenshots are in the setup guide.
This step ensures the app can fully remap your keys.
If it does not work after the first install, repeat carefully or follow the video walkthrough on the homepage FAQ section.
- Quit the app completely with Cmd + Q if it is already open.
- Install (or reinstall) using the downloaded .dmg file.
- Launch the app, grant Accessibility, and press Start.
- If the Start/Stop control works, you are ready.
Here's our product video with a full setup walkthrough:
If the video doesn't load or play, contact us and we'll help you get set up.
2. How to quit the app?⌄
Open the app from the macOS menu bar (keyboard icon), then press Cmd + Q. Closing the window alone leaves it running in the background so shortcuts keep working.
3. Not working as expected?⌄
Default preferences may swap keys. For example, with Swap Fn and Control on, Fn + C copies instead of Ctrl + C. Open Preferences and uncheck the swap option if you want physical Ctrl for copy/paste.
Also confirm Accessibility is enabled and the app status shows Active. Enable “Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” in System Settings.
4. Which shortcuts are implemented?⌄
Common Windows shortcuts work, including Ctrl+C/V/X/Z, Ctrl+A/S/F, Ctrl+T/W, Alt+Tab, Win+E, Win+D, and more across system, browser, editing, and files. Premium adds terminal and editor shortcuts. See the full shortcuts page for every mapping.
The app includes 55 shortcuts across system, editing, browser, files, terminal, and editor workflows. With default settings, press fn where you see Ctrl below.

5. Is this a Karabiner alternative?⌄
Yes for most Windows switchers. Karabiner is a general remapping toolkit. Winkeys: Windows Shortcuts for Mac ships ready-made Windows→Mac shortcut mappings with a simple UI, so you do not write JSON rules just to get Ctrl+C and Alt+Tab back.
6. Any other difficulty?⌄
