Download and install Microsoft PowerToys (you'll need admin permissions).
Once installed, on the left-hand side navigate to "Keyboard Manager". Under "Shortcuts" click "Remap a shortcut". It'll open a new window that will allow you to remap shortcuts...

On the first column, click the "Type" box and you'll be prompted to enter a key combo. On your keyboard, press "Win key" + "shift" + "s". On the second column (Map to), scroll and look for "Print Screen". You can leave the third column blank.

Now Win + Shift + S will be mapped to print screen, so if you use Greenshot like I do, you won't have to change anything further.


Should map Fn + Camera key to Print Screen, hopefully...

Of course Mac laptops have a lot less keys than Linux/Windows laptops, but Mac desktops you can choose the full size Apple keyboard which is very very close to the PC 102key layout.

Main gotcha for Brits is the Apple location for " and @ are transposed to PC.

Also the | and ~ keys are in a different position, which can be a pain if programming or using terminal commands. But, as zyborg says, that keyboard has markings for PC and Mac. A little cluttered, but I guess it’s all there.

I still prefer an Apple keyboard with a Mac. It just works.

Oh yeah, I can do as I don't use the camera key as I don't have a camera on here, while I do, but it is not permanently plugged in

I have to sort out the cables later, my old keyboard is still plugged in, but on the floor beside me, it has the mouse dongle in the back, also got to move the Logi bolt to the back of the computer.
I am slowly getting used to this keyboard, the keys seem to be closer together than my old one. I wrote a letter last night with it, so not too bad.

This is why I got it as I wanted one keyboard for both machines and it was at a good price, so may as well get it now.
it is nice to have more space on the desk for my mouse, and now I can put the Contour shuttle down by me as well, now all I need to do is get something, so I can put my graphics tablet on.
