karabiner-configs
helped me stop frustrating after moving on mac after many years on windows.
WINDOWS LIKE KEYBOARD (fn(ctrl for non apple keyboards) > left_command, ctrl+tab, ctrl+arrows behavior)
makes mac keyboard shortcuts in most programs work like on windows with normal keyboard (fn+A = windows-like ctrl+A (actual cmd+A), ...)
RDP, Virtual Machines (alt > win, cmd > alt, fn <> ctrl for apple keyboards)
in some Virtual Machine hosts I use make keyboard windows-like again
RShift + Backspace = Delete (word with fn) for apple keyboards
RShift + Enter = Insert
RAlt + F7-F12 = media
for people with long fingers
NUMPAD SIMUL: RAlt + k,./l;'op[ = keypad_0-9 [9]>[/] [0]>[*] ']'>[.]

Deno Karabiner
Write Complex Modifications for Karabiner-Elements using TypeScript and Deno.
Why?
Karabiner Complex Modifications are in JSON which is not too text editor friendly format. By moving to TypeScript we gain following:
- Ability write comments
- Ability to use variables and any logic we want
- Autocomplete and build via VSCode etc.
- Type safety. The key codes etc. are typed
- Although this is not 100% complete. PRs welcome!
Why Deno? It's the simplest way to run TypeScript code on macOS. No need to fiddle with npm and TypeScript configs.
Build with VSCode tasks
! IT WILL OVERWRITE your default config under ~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json.
