Mac like settings?

[Mightyashy]

Been a while since Ive used a PC for anything other than gaming, been on MacOS for years. Using a new PC more these days and wondered if theres a way in Win11 to do anything like some of the native Mac stuff:

• Text replacement - eg type @@ and it replaces it with your email address
• Quick view - for PDF and images (space bar on Mac)
• Copy/Paste to/from iphone (cant see this but worth an ask)

Thanks!

This is a different beast from Mac OS and M$ generally like to break it

However, I have an iPhone and use the Simple Transfer app on my PC when I need to. Works well.

This one

• Text replacement - eg type @@ and it replaces it with your email address - don't know of anything
• Quick view - for PDF and images (space bar on Mac) - powertoys, peek does this using ctrl and space but honestly it's almost faster to just open them properly on my system and/or use the thumbanails and preview sidebar
• Copy/Paste to/from iphone (cant see this but worth an ask) - phone link for windows might do what you want but I do know the iOS version is severely limited compared with android version.

Note I'm using these on windows 10 but there's not a huge difference on peek and phone link.

You could probably do something with AutoHotkey for the text replacement.

PowerToys also has a keyboard manager where you can create custom shortcuts. Otherwise I think there is an advanced clipboard where you can pin text for later use.
