Thank you for this great application :)
I tried to adapt to mac settings and staff, but for good or not I still have to use PC sometimes. I decided that I have to unify the shortcuts, or at least the one that I use alot:
Here is my configuration if somebody find it useful:
- Switching Cmd and Option keys in Mac System Preferences (so all copy, paste and so on commands are matching Ctrl_ shortcuts)
- BetterTouchTool - For window snapping and HideAllWindows(Show Desktop) Application Switcher (Alt+Tab) and mappings for some other application specific shortcuts.
- KeyRemap4MacBook - Maybe later I will use it more, but for now I use it mainly for the keyboard language switching. I made small research and found that a lot of other people have the same problem with that and no solution, so here are some short instructions:
1. Map "Select next/previous input source" to F19 (or any other unused key) from Mac System Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Use private.xml at KeyRemap4MacBook to map Option + Shift to F19 (or the key you prefer)
3. That's all. You can alt+shift switch keyboard layouts in windows manner.

PS: I don't know if I'll find time to spread this to some forums, but feel free to post it anywhere you want. Maybe one day I will find time to write a complete article how to adjust your Mac and Windows to match the look and feel and use the best of both worlds.

Hi,

Thank you for information!


It might be useful adding ModifierFlag::NONE in order to
stop remapping when you press other modifiers.

<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::SHIFT_L, VK_OPTION | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::F19</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::D, VK_CONTROL | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::F16</autogen>


And __KeyOverlaidModifier__ might be useful, too.

<!--
You can use left control key for normal control key.
If you press and release left control key only, send option-space.
-->
<autogen>
__KeyOverlaidModifier__
KeyCode::CONTROL_L,
KeyCode::CONTROL_L,
KeyCode::SPACE, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L,
</autogen>
