- Adds a migration script for automatic setup during system migrations
- Uses a universal configuration that works with any keyboard without device-specific IDs

If you're on the Flow84, you just need to hit FN + N to be in Windows mode. I'm almost certain that this is possible with all the Keychrons too. |
