How do you edit which keys do what on Windows? I had to do registry edits to get the caps lock to function as control which is baked into the macOS preferences. You can also add as many shortcuts as you like that control anything on macOS in the Keyboard pane. Sure you can't remap every key to something different out of the box but I don't think you can do that on Windows either.

That's a tool you have to download. It doesn't come with the OS.

And yet OSX doesn't have such a tool from an official or even unofficial source without a daemon running and wasting CPU cycles.

I bought a non-apple keyboard and still can't map home+end keys in all applications without a daemon running.

Ukelele? I used to create a hybrid custom Swedish layout that shows up among all the system key layouts http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele
