By selecting Key Mappings you can map any Mac keys to Windows keys. I had the problem that @ (shift-2) on the Mac produced '(shift-') in Windows. I have now mapped each one to the other i.e. Shift-2 to Shift-' and Shift-' to Shift-2, and it works fine. If you don't like the way your keyboard is laid out, a keyboard remapper can change it. There are only a few for Mac OS X, and the lack of development on many of your options makes your choice.
Here's a guide of keyboard shortcut and automations tools for the Mac.
Increase your productivity. With Synergy, you can finally build software across all your computers using only one keyboard and mouse. Staying on top of tight deadlines and ever-changing project requirements has never been easier. Here's a guide of keyboard shortcut and automations tools for the Mac. I created a Dvorak Keyboard Layout using ResEdit on Mac back in 1992, and been using QuicKeys back then, it was the best automation tool. Also many app launchers and keyboard tools over the decades that came and went. Feb 06, 2019 When you use a Windows (PC) keyboard on a Macintosh computer, the keyboard shortcuts that you use map to different keys. In particular, the primary key that is used in keyboard shortcuts in combination with other keys is frequently different. The following are the primary key substitutions on the Windows keyboard, and their Macintosh equivalents.

Download at[Karabiner-Elements At https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ ]
Karabiner is very advanced. You can:
- Distinguish left Ctrl vs right Ctrl, remap Escape, remap Enter key.
- Set Space bar to be Ctrl or ⌘ command when held down with another key, but as space itself when no other keys is pressed at the same time.
- Set keys to be device dependent. i.e. You have 2 keyboard. You want F2 to do different things.
Change Keyboard Shortcut in App
Mac OS X since 10.4 (year 2005) lets you change keyboard shortcut in a specific app.
Go to System Preferences, Keyboard and Mouse, Keyboard Shortcuts. Then click the + sign add button.
Note: This mechanism is not very flexible, because:
- Once you create a hotkey, the original key won't work anymore. (for example, if you set F3 to Copy, then ⌘ command+c won't work.)
- It only lets you create a key for a action that has a menu. (for example, you cannot define a key to launch a app.)
- Numerical keypad keys cannot be used as trigger. (For example, you cannot make the number pad keys as personalized extra function keys.)
Suppose you have a gaming mouse,and you've set buttons to do copy and paste, across any computer running macOS.But you've also madeF2 as copy on your home Mac, so you can do them easily from keyboard too.Now, your mouse copy button don't work anymore, because⌘ command+cno longer works.
Programable Keyboards
Get a programable keyboard with onboard memory. This is the best solution.Because you can plug the keyboard in any computer and it'll work with your settings.
See Programable Keyboards with Onboard Memory
or, get a programable keypad.
App Launcher
App launchers are primarily designed to launch apps, open files, run scripts.You set a key to do them, or, a hotkey that pops up a dialog, then type any letter to launch or search.
Quicksilver. A app launcher. Assign hotkey to launch/switch/open apps or files. The hotkey can be single key (For example, F1) or combo-key (For example, ⌘ command+F1).

[ControllerMate At http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/. Commercial. USB interface mapper. Seems to let you remap any USB input device's signals in flexible ways, including mouse.]
[review of ControllerMate by Jonny, 2017-02-27.]
I've been using ControllerMate for several years now and I have to saythat it is really an amazing and extremely powerful piece of software,and very flexible! The developer is also very quick to respond to questionson the forum and to come up with solutions which require coding (custompatches or add ons to download, or updates to download- depending on thesituation). There is a bit of a learning curve! And while the interfaceis logical and straightforward, getting used to the basic underlying logicbehind it all takes some time. But I can't even begin to explain all theunique and creative things you can do with it.
But I'll give a could examples.. I quite easily was able to switcharound and re-program lots keys on my keyboard (KM0Z1-5N6P and was ableto physically switch the keys around as well to match), I also did somemore complicated reprogramming using the Apps/Menu key almost like a newmodifier, mainly to launch apps but also to access the higher Fn-keys (adding10 to what's printed on the keyboard — only up to F20 though which he saysis the MacOS limit).
I also customized my trackball so that if I double-middle-click-hold the ball becomes an any direction scroll “ball”.
Another major product was creating a very unique, customized programmingfor a Logitech G13. I did use the native software for just a couple offunctions- basically for setting up the backlight colors for the various“pages” and configuring the applets. One cool thing I did that I use allthe time is to setup the joystick to switch “Spaces” (Mission Control),and to move windows between my multiple monitors, and to move windows between“Spaces” depending on which of the adjacent button(s) I'm holding. It'sSUPER easy and convenient! I also use those buttons (pretty much designedto be mouse buttons) as shift-life modifiers to access deeper levels ofthe closer buttons (in addition to and unique for the 3 ‘main’ pages whichare built in). In some cases I set them up to trigger regular hotkeys,sometimes I create custom hotkeys with the keyboard control panel (typicallyusing combos involving keys that aren't even on my keyboard or that arevery difficult to type), and sometimes I have them trigger AppleScriptsthat native commands or use GUI control but only if the app is alreadyrunning.

Honestly that barely even scratches the surface of all the things Iknow that ControllerMate can do which is only a fraction of what it canreally do!
