The "Use Mac keyboard with AutoHotkey under Windows" guide provides an AutoHotkey configuration file that enables Mac keyboard shortcuts to function on Windows systems. The file has been tested with a German keyboard layout but should be compatible with other layouts as well. To ensure compatibility with applications running with admin permissions, users can refer to a related question on StackOverflow. The installation process involves installing AutoHotkey, running the provided MacKeyboard.ahk file, and placing it or a shortcut in the Autostart folder for automatic startup.
