This is just a space for me to share some notes and thoughts. I hope someone finds something useful here.

If you are in the similar position as me, you might be using multiple operating systems on a regular basis. I work on a Mac, but until very recently I was running my gaming rig on Windows, and I either dual boot or run VMs or <strong>WSL</strong> for Linux.</p> <p>Several years ago, I got fed up with switching between Mac and non-Mac keyboard shortcuts. Even though I got used to <code>Ctrl+C</code> / <code>Ctrl+V</code> growing up, I quickly came to appreciate the ease of <strong>macOS</strong> shortcuts. And so, this brought me on a quest to just use the same key bindings on all my machines.</p> <p>The solution: <a rel="external" href="https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto">Kinto</a>, a small app for Windows and Linux, is one of the very first things I install on a new machine. It remaps the keyboard so that macOS shortcuts work on another OS. It is not perfect, but it gets me 95% there.</p> <p>I hope this is useful for someone else out there dealing with the same multi-OS headache.</p>
