At first I though it did not work but it looks like it requires a couple seconds after switch to another computer to take an effect.

UPD 2: Ok, looks like auto-os-switch does work if you install Logitech Options software on both computers, go to More Settings and set 'Always keep the keyboard in Mac layout' ('Always keep the keyboard in Windows layout' on Windows). Basic characters that require alt codes in Windows, like em and en dashes, accented vowels, n with a tilde, bullets, trademark, copyright, registration, and so on, can be typed with simple two- and three-key combinations on a Mac. can it be automated with the Logitech or any other software? Now new question - switching like this every time is very annoying. UPD: OK, I've found the solution, I think, it is FN + O for macOS and FN + P for Windows (press for 3 seconds). It is quite frustrating that this product work like this given that it costs $130. I also (like u/real_Zark_Muckerberg) tried to press FN + U for 3 seconds like you've suggested but it did not work. Hold the keys down for 20 seconds, or until you hear a startup sound. When you use a Windows (PC) keyboard on a Macintosh computer, the keyboard shortcuts that you use map to different keys. ran hardware troubleshooter and applied fixes. I know I could swap them in mac's keyboard settings but I do not want to do that because I do not want to mess up my other keyboards. 1 day ago &0183 &32 I am currently using a wired keyboard, plugged in by USB to write this. I am having the same issue, my 'MX Keys for Business' that I connected to my Mac treats Opt as Command and Command as Opt. I also read countless related topics but nothing worked/helped.

Examples of foreign letters and symbols you can use the Alt key for include: The Scandinavian Г: Alt + O. Trying SharpKeys did also not help because it does not recognize the OPTIONS key when I press it. If you have a keyboard suited for English, using the Alt key on your Mac will save you a lot of time typing accented letters.

I also installed this Logitech Options software package but this doesn't bring any useful option for swapping keys either. I tried FN + P (hold 3 seconds) but this doesn't do anything for me.

Does anyone know how to swap the ALT & WINDOWS key when I have my MX Keys for Mac connected to a Windows 10 machine?
