Autohotkey script for Apple keyboards

An autohotkey script to emulate OSX behavior with an Apple keyboard.

This script is based on the work of Jonathan Ströbele (stroebjo).
The original repository can be found here.

It add support for:

• Natural scrolling
• Move to trash (Command-Delete)
• Empty Trash (Command-Shift-Delete)

This script has been tested on a french MacBook Air keyboard. Feel free to contribute to support a wider range of configurations.

Prerequisites

Basic Apple key assignment for Microsoft Windows

Before you use this script, you will need to use a proper keyboard layout profile on Windows to cover the basic character mappings.

You can create your own using [Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator](Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator). For more informations, you can read this article on the Apple support website

Some contributors have already done it for you:

• Apple US keyboard: fredemmott/AppleKeyboardsForWindows
• Apple FR keyboard: French Apple MacBook Keyboard Layout for Windows

Installation

• Install AutoHotKey
• Run the AppleKeyboard.ahk file
• Place a shortcut of this file in your Startup directory (see Run a program automatically when Windows starts - on windows.microsoft.com)

Adding support for an application

Application specific mappings MUST be placed in the apps folder. Once created, just add a commented #Include instruction in the AppleKeyboard.ahk file under the "Applications support" section.

For example:

; -------------------------------------------------------------
; Applications support
;
; Note: Feel free to uncomment application specific mappings
; -------------------------------------------------------------

; #Include apps\my_awesome_application.ahk

Adding optional key mappings

Optional key mappings MUST be placed in the utils folder. Once created, just add a commented #Include instruction in the AppleKeyboard.ahk file under the "Optional key mappings" section.

For example:

; -------------------------------------------------------------
; Optional key mappings
;
; Note: Feel free to uncomment optional key mappings
; Filenames are self-explanatory
; -------------------------------------------------------------

; #Include utils\some_utility.ahk
