Click “OK” to dismiss the key mapping menu.
Luckily I’ve discovered a nifty tool that will update your Windows registry to make the Apple key act like ctrl in Windows. I’ve started pressing ctrl when I should be pressing the Apple key and vice versa. Never the less, I’ve gotten use to working with the default OS X keyboard layout, and this has made switching back and forth from Windows Boot Camp to OS X incredibly confusing. That means to copy text in Windows you press ctrl-c, but to copy text in OS X you press Apple-c. Heavy computer users are familiar with keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl-c to “copy” and ctrl-v to “paste.” If you’re a Mac user and you switch back and forth from Windows to OS X often you’ve probably felt some pain using keyboard shortcuts.įor some silly reason Apple decided to default standard keyboard shortcuts to use the Apple key (also called the Command key) instead of the ctrl key.
