MacKeys for Windows: cross-OS shortcut mapper

Keep one muscle memory for people constantly switching between Mac and Windows

Problem

A developer shared that he switches between his Windows PC and MacBook all day, and the most annoying thing is that shortcuts like copy/paste differ across systems, breaking muscle memory and slowing him down. He tried AutoHotkey but found it hard to configure and maintain, which is out of reach for most users. It's a widely tolerated problem with no consumer-friendly tool.

Solution

A graphical shortcut mapper for Windows: ships with macOS shortcut presets (Cmd+C/V/Z etc.) that users can apply in a few clicks; supports per-app overrides, conflict detection and a visual key panel; lets users export configs to share with a team.

Users

Cross-platform developers, designers, and office workers who switch between a company Windows machine and a personal Mac.

MVP

Built-in Mac shortcut presets; one-click install that generates an AutoHotkey v2 script; per-app override configuration; conflict detection warnings; config export/import.

Revenue

Free basic mapping; paid tier for per-app rules, conflict detection, cloud sync and team-shared configs, priced as a $15-25 one-time license or annual subscription.

Why now

Remote and hybrid work have made cross-OS switching the norm, while AutoHotkey remains a tool for tinkerers only; wrapping that complexity in a GUI is exactly the kind of niche an indie developer can own.
