How to Switch Some Basic Keys in Windows (Windows VirtualBox Guest on OSX Host)

How to Switch Some Basic Keys in Windows (Windows VirtualBox Guest on OSX Host) I am going crazy switching between Windows XP in a VirtualBox and the host (OSX), mostly due to the use of control-c, control-v, control-x and that they are different between the two OSes.

"Yep, check out Autohotkey. You can choose to have the hotkeys work on a per-application basis or system wide.

example:

^!n::Run C:\Windows

This will allow you to use Ctrl + Alt + n to open an explorer window to C:\Windows.

The hotkeys tutorial is a great start for making your own custom hotkeys."

"First change the Host Key to Right Command key...

And then change all usages of Windows key to Control Key, in your AHK script.

LWin::LCtrl
LCtrl::LWin

Now the keys are remapped for all shortcuts!"
