Keyboard Maestro is pretty cool. Version 10 just came out with macro subroutines.

The keyboard option in the Mac’s System Preferences lets you select foreign keyboards. If your layout is not quite right, there are alternatives there. For instance, I think there are two US keyboard layouts available. That might be helpful.

I’ve heard good things about AHK. I was going to use it on my company computer but there was blowback. I ended up with a Genovation CP48 programmable keypad.

As to Windows versus Mac, I’m not very qualified to say. Without rancor, I avoid Windows. I’m happy with either Linux or MacOS. Available software for the Mac works well. I don’t think there is anything quite like Devonthink available for Windows, and I’m somewhat addicted to Devonthink.
