title: Getting your mechanical keyboard working VIA Mac

Much thanks to u/theogdeltag[1], I was finally able to get my Wormier RD75[2]
working on macOS like I'd expect it to (using Option + Command to quickly
navigate tabs in Sublime Text and browsers being such a workflow).

VIA[3] is basically how you remap keys, update firmware, &c for seemingly all
indie keyboard manufacturers? Anyhoo:

> To "force" a keyboard to work in the way you would expect it to on a Mac using

> Windows Key = Command

> Alt = Option

> Ctrl = Control

> Once I bound the left and right windows keys into the place I would expect
> Command to be, my keyboard functioned as expected on my Mac.

I think by default, the remapping affects the Windows mode (my keyboard has
toggles), which doesn't matter either way for me (just an FYI for you).
