Configuring Mac OS keyboard shortcuts to resemble Ubuntu

Setup MacOS shortcuts to be same as Ubuntu

I have been using Ubuntu for last few years. Now I have to work on Mac OS for work. But I still use personal laptop which has Ubuntu. So I decided to setup the Mac OS shortcuts to be exactly same as in Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

Install Google Fonts

Download desired fonts

https://fonts.google.com/?selection.family=Open+Sans

Install Google Fonts on Ubuntu

cd /usr/share/fonts
sudo mkdir googlefonts
cd googlefonts
sudo unzip -d . ~/Downloads/Open_Sans.zip

[Plover][] is an awesome open source stenography program, but to run the software [you need an NKRO keyboard][nkro]. The [ErgoDox keyboard][ergodox] can be made to run in NKRO mode by following these steps.

Install dependencies

These instructions are based on this document, which assumes you're using Windows. I'm using a mac, and I had to download and install the [CrossPack for AVR Development][crosspack] before the build process worked.

Download the source

The NKRO firmware and Plover keymap can be found in the simon_layout branch of @shayneholmes fork of tmk_keyboard. Get the source:
