I am using osx on my MacBook Pro but for different reasons I do also have to use Windows 10 to make some programming now and then. I would like to use exactly the same keyboard layout in Windows and I have not found a good solution yet.
My main problems with Windows keyboard are:
- the { and } is at a different place, which I just can not handle. I want them to be where they are on OSX.
- I want to use cmd+x, cmd+z, cmd+c, cmd+v etc in Windows as I would use them in OSX.
Is there a program to change this? I really just want the osx standard to work in Windows.

Could you elaborate on how the { and } are at a different place? I'm currently using a Mac with a Windows keyboard, and the { } are the shift characters for [ ], which are just to the right of p on both keyboards.

Are you aware of the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator? It is not officially supporting Windows 8/10, but I got it to work under Windows 8, so I suppose it should work under Windows 10 as well. You can use it to create arbitrary keyboard layouts.

Sounds like what you want is to be able swap a couple keys in Windows 10. SharpKeys should be able to do this.
Specifically, you'll want to swap around whatever the curly braces are, and swap alt with ctrl: alt is in the same position as the command key on a Mac keyboard, and swapping it with ctrl makes ctrl-V/C/X the same motion as command-V/C/X.

- Apple Menu
- Systems Preferences...
- Keyboard
- Keyboard tab
- [Modifier Keys...] button in lower right
Use the drop-down menus located in this window to specify the action of each of the modifier keys ([caps lock], [control], [option],and [command]).
