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

Karabiner-elements
Goku - To create the karabiner configuration in a concise format(EDN)
Hammerspoon
Miro Windows Manager
Alt-tab - To switch between windows of the same application

External Keybindings

For VSCode, I used the keybindings available here
For sublime text, I copied the default linux keybindings to mac OS
For chrome, I used the keyboard shortcuts extension to configure the shortcuts same as in Ubuntu.
For terminal I use Wezterm and I use the shortcuts that ship with it by default
