As a long time Windows user who switched to a Mac at work at one point, I was pleasantly surprised by the extent to which I was able to make the Mac conform to my muscle memory. If I remember correctly, I basically swapped the software mapping command and control. On top of this, I had to finagle with a system shortcut or two. In the end, everything just worked as if it was a Windows machine.

Concerning Emacs, I've found that a combination of QMK and AHK allow me to make everything work more or less like Emacs. Ultimately I think I might be lucky to have a decent memory for this sort of thing, but I've found that I can use the keyboard for everything everywhere.

Keyboard shortcut consistency was one of the first pleasant surprises of switching to MacOS.
