Make keys behave like Windows on MacOS

Make keys behave like Windows on MacOS

I tried, but failed for Control Arrow Keys. Anyway I decided drop this idea, because it is a partial solution, the Control Arrow Keys doesn't work.

Steps

Create a file ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict has following contents

{
  "\UF729"  = moveToBeginningOfLine:; // home
  "\UF72B"  = moveToEndOfLine:; // end
  "$\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:; // shift+home
  "$\UF72B" = moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:; // shift+end
  "^\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfDocument:; // ctrl+home
  "^\UF72B" = moveToEndOfDocument:; // ctrl+end
  "^$\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfDocumentAndModifySelection:; // ctrl+shift+home
  "^$\UF72B" = moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection:; // ctrl+shift+end
  "^\UF702" = "moveWordBackward:"; // ctrl+leftarrow
  "^\UF703" = "moveWordForward:"; // ctrl+rightarrow
  "^$\UF702" = "moveWordBackwardAndModifySelection:"; // shift+ctrl+leftarrow
  "^$\UF703" = "moveWordForwardAndModifySelection:"; // shift+ctrl+rightarrow
}

Alternatively, change Line to Paragraph, depending on your prefers.

Disable Apple mouse swipe action

Change mouse

Then I start using normal mouse, but hard to change between screen using keyboard, my remote control and virtual machine doesn't understand the keys, and holding keyboard actions made wrong password in login screen.

Disable swipe action

Then I found the way to disable swipe action as below

system preferences>trackpad or mouse>more gestures tab>uncheck "swipe between pages".
