The question is I'm using a macbook, I want to make the external keyboard work like the internal keyboard. So is it possible for win & alt switch in external keyboard?

Depends on the OS but yes - Windows needs sharpkeys (the file is included but needs to be ran manually). Linux needs keytables to remap usb keyboards - pre kinto, so that Kinto can treat normal usb keyboards as Apple keyboards.

No immediate plans to integrate this further with Kinto - I think most users would not care to have this feature or if they do it is relatively minor to get it setup and working.
