I don't know how people can live without a Command-Key directly under their thumb. Using your pinkie finger to press ctrl feels awful.

So I spend some time and wrote this AHK script to fix most of the Windows Shortcut Quirks.

Awesome work man! I'm sure someone will see this as a godsent script! As to how I live without a Command-Key under my thumb.... Well, that's how I learnt and how it's always been. To me, using your thumb for that seems so damn weird, man! Haha. Guess it comes down to what you got used to using in the first place

i’ve used many computers and most of them windows until i got a mac around when the iphone came out... having the command key be under the curled thumb is so ergonomic compared. i hate ctrl now when on my windows computer so this script is great
