Only on keyboards with Delete key, not Backspace. I’m using the physical location of the key to mimic this behavior, so the mapping is different for Mac vs Windows keyboards. Windows style Alt+Tab to switch windows.Windows style hotkeys with Ctrl instead of Cmd.
(Technically, the Cmd and Ctrl swap from above can be done here as well, but I was having issues when I tried it and not all mappings work as expected.) Here is my setup: This is a powerful tool to remap your keyboard, and we’ll be using this to map most things to the Windows style. If you’re using a Windows keyboard, your settings will instead look like this:

How to Use Your Mac like Windows First Things First And recently, I’ve reached a point where I feel like I have triumphed, and I would like to share some of those findings. So, for the past couple weeks, I’ve embarked on a journey to make my Mac behave more sensibly like Windows. I’m sure the smart folks at Apple could easily fix some of these, but for the sake of being different, they have to have it their way. Why am I hitting hotkeys with my thumb when it’s supposed to be at home resting on the spacebar? And what is that Fn key doing in the bottom left corner, one of the most valuable spots on the keyboard? Also, why does hitting Enter on a file rename it instead of opening it? I can go on. I said “bit the bullet” because despite all the things I said, I absolutely hate Mac keyboard shortcuts. When I was presented with the choice of Mac or Windows at my new job, I bit the bullet and took a Mac.
(There are of course many other things to say about Macs, but I’ll let the fanboys sing the praise.) They also make a great development environment thanks to the Unix system. The hardware is absolutely gorgeous, and the software experience is cohesive and smooth. I’ve been a Windows user all my life, but I have to admit, Macs are great computers.
