>>AHK is one of the apps which locks me into using Windows.

Hammerspoon[1] seems to be the best option for macOS.

I prefer using Keyboard Maestro[1] for this, which does a lot more than just allow you to remap the keyboard.

It’s interesting seeing people in this thread complaining that AHK keeps them tied to windows, I feel the same about Keyboard Maestro on my Macs.

I switched to a 90% Windows environment at my new job. Gave Windows + AHK a shot to potentially reduce headaches when IT issues would pop up.

I couldn’t do it. AHK’s syntax is ridiculous, and whenever I would try to download and trial scripts I had to infer if it was v1 or v2. I switched back to the Mac with KM and am much happier for it.

Is there anything like KM for Windows??
