Workflow for Alfred 2 to use Windows key combos to perform system functions.
I use the Microsoft Natural series of keyboards on all my computers, and frequently switch between Windows and OS X. I have it mapped so the keys are in the same places as the Mac keyboard (meaning Ctrl == control, Win == option, Alt == command) since that's the OS I use most often.
This workflow lets me use the Win+key combo to perform the most common system functions I use regularly:
- Win + L: Lock screen
- Win + U: Shut Down
- Win + R: Restart
- Shift + Alt + F4: Quit all
- Ctrl + Shift + Esc: Application Monitor
The same keys work on the Mac keyboard, just with different names on the keys:
- ⌥ + L: Lock screen
- ⌥ + U: Shut Down
- ⌥ + R: Restart
- ⇧ + ⌘ + F4: Quit all
- ˄ + ⇧ + ⎋ (␛): Application Monitor
