Switched from Windows to Mac and keep reaching for shortcuts that don't exist? Switchover puts them back: Cmd+X/Cmd+V actually cuts and pastes files in Finder, Cmd+Shift+V opens a clipboard history like Win+V with pinning and a Paste Stack for forms, Ctrl+Alt+Delete opens Activity Monitor, Ctrl+Option+Up/Down fills and restores windows, and Ctrl+Option+Shift+S snips to your clipboard. Every shortcut is remappable. No network access, nothing collected. On the Mac App Store.

Could you build this?
Partial While basic shortcut mapping is straightforward, implementing reliable system-wide input interception, clipboard history with OCR, and native Finder file manipulation requires deep macOS Accessibility and CoreGraphics APIs.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/Objective-C leveraging macOS Accessibility (AXUIElement) and CGEventTap APIs for global hotkey handling. The hard parts involve hooking Finder/ForkLift file paste semantics safely without corrupting filesystem operations, sandbox compliance, and reliable background event capture across various macOS security updates.
