Key Remaps for Boot Camp Users

This Autohotkey script remaps keys on an Apple keyboard used with Boot Camp to mimic keyboard shortcuts in Mac OS X. It remaps the Alt/Option keys to behave like the Command key for deleting words or lines, moving cursor, and closing windows. It also remaps the Command key to act as the Control key for letters, numbers and common keys like Cut, Copy, Paste. The script allows Apple laptop users running Windows to have a more native Mac keyboard experience.
