Using a Magic Keyboard with Windows

I have an Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - US English that I use with a Dell laptop running Windows 11. I remapped some keys on the Apple keyboard using Microsoft PowerToys as such so that they did not interfere with the original keyboard that is part of my laptop:

Function Key Previous Key Combo Does What?
F1 N/A 🌑 switch to dark mode 1
F2 N/A ☀️ switch to light mode
F3 ⊞ Win+Tab 🪟 open task view
F4 ⊞ Win+I ⚙️ open Settings
F5 ⊞ Win+E 📁 open File Explorer
F6 ⊞ Win+; 😊 open Emoji Panel
F7 Previous Track ⏮️ go to previous track
F8 Play/Pause Media ⏯️ play/pause media
F9 Next Track ⏭️ go to next track
F10 Volume Mute 🔇 volume mute
F11 Volume Down 🔉 decrease volume
F12 Volume Up 🔊 increase volume
F13 ⊞ Win+Print Screen 🤳🏽 take a screenshot
F14 ⊞ Win+Shift+C 🎨 open Colour Picker 2
F15 ⊞ Win+Shift+M 📏 open Screen Ruler
F16 Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 1

Notes on Using Chargers/Power Adapters 3

  1. Check polarity symbols: The DC symbol is: ⎓. Look for polarity as a + or - next to the voltage values, or as the below image:

  2. Compare values: The input of the device should be the same as the output of the adapter - the volts, amperes, and polarity values should all match! There is one other second-best situation though: if the adapter has the correct voltage and polarity - but the current is greater than what the device requires, you should be fine. The following chart shows various combinations from comparing the adapter to the device:

Other Applications

This is a list of things I have installed on my computer; however, it is not exhaustive. Most of these apps I use often, but there are some that I no longer open - so this list needs to eventually get pruned.

Footnotes

  1. Toggling dark/light mode was done by adapting this tutorial: Windows Central - How to switch between Windows 10 light and dark modes on schedule automatically, and this "superuser" Stack Exchange question: Setting a shortcut to trigger task scheduler.

  2. The Colour Picker and the Screen Ruler are utilities only offered through Microsoft PowerToys.

  3. Summarized from: Complete Guide to Using the Correct Charger or Power Adapter (and What Happens If You Don’t).
