Use Mac Shortcuts in Windows

Question

I use both Windows and OSX on my MacBook Pro.

Due to the nature of the keyboard it's very annoying to run Windows, for example, quite a few of the keys you would usually use are missing on a MBP - end, pageup, etc.

Is it possible to map some of the OSX shortcuts in Windows? For example, can I map Cmd+C to COPY, Cmd+V to PASTE, Cmd+Right to END, etc?

I managed to do all of the above with AutoHotKey

AutoHotkey is a free, open-source utility for Windows. With it, you can:

Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand or use the macro recorder.

Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.

Expand abbreviations as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way".

Create custom data-entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. See GUI for details.

Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.

Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC client script.

Run existing AutoIt v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities.

Convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on computers that don't have AutoHotkey installed.
