I guess we come from different backgrounds, what puts me off on a mac is the inconsistency between Control and Command shortcuts which makes it even worse on a terminal app, I prefer the Linux ones.
- im_down_w_otp 10y agoI'm of exactly the opposite opinion. The fact that on the Mac (and old UNIX-proper systems) decoupled the modifier key for GUI-shortcuts (Command/Meta) from the modifier key for terminal control sequences is one of the absolute best parts of the Mac-style of shortcuts to me. It means I get to have Modifer-C and Modifier-V and Modifier-Z always do the same things no matter what program I'm in. In Linux-land I always have to do some extra finger gymnastics in the terminal. Because Ctrl-C will kill processes rather than copy text for instance. Ctrl-Z will pause a process and push it to the background rather than undo, etc.
