Switching between Mac and Windows PC made easier with Auto Hotkey

Switching between Mac and PC is such a pain. The hotkeys are so different that you mess up quit a bit. This will in turn reduce your productivity a lot. I have struggled quite a bit to switch between Mac and PC. After a lot of searching, I came across Auto Hotkey which is available for windows. Now I use Mac’s hotkeys in windows. This improved my productivity by a lot. If you often switch between Mac and PC, I hope this will be helpful. The following is the auto hotkey script for Mac like hotkeys in Windows. I have also added Mac like hotkeys for sublime text as well. Here is my script:
