Default Apple keyboard on Windows 10 system.
Hi, I'm using Pro Tools with Windows 10 on my home computer and it works fine. The only thing that is a problem for me are the keyboard shortcuts since I use a Norwegian keyboard layout. Also the OSx shortcuts are getting ingrained in my fingers because we use Apple PCs at the studio.

I want to know if there it is possible to use an Apple keyboard with Pro Tools on my Windows PC and get the Apple shortcuts to work on my system. What would I have to do?

Thanks in advance.

Guides on setting up Apple keyboards on Windows generically I can find. I need to know how to make it work in Pro Tools specifically.

Someone out there has solved this before. I'm hoping that someone is here and wants to share his knowledge.

Thanks, though, for trying :)

Do you have full access to all the Apple shortcuts in Pro Tools?

Sorry, no issues here in Windows 10.

Well full disclosure I just got a D Command soooo...I haven't been using them as much as I usually would have.....

So with that being said I have used a few.....especially Cntrl S and it works just fine.

Maybe we should say "What's not working for you?"

And for me if Control S works, most of them should work.

Now what's different is that it's Cntrl instead of CMD - but that has nothing to do with the Keyboard itself, it's a host based issue.

This is where my keyboard has been living...lately
