Macs are Unix machines, ya know.
I use a mac for all my development, but I do it inside Terminal with GNU Screen and vim. I use MacVim for those rare instances when I want an Aqua-friendly text editor.
- steveklabnik 17y agoYeah, see, I just can't stand Terminal.app. I can't really articulate why.
- varaon 17y agoThe lack of support for the Home and End keys drove me nuts. Try iTerm - http://iterm.sourceforge.net/ http://iterm.sourceforge.net/
- steveklabnik 17y agoThanks, just saw it in another thread, and it's now stuck in my Dock.
- zzzmarcus 17y agoCtrl+e and ctrl+a work like home and end in Terminal.app. Also, if you haven't already tried tmux, it's worth looking at. I find it fits my way of working much, much better than screen. It has both horizontal and vertical splits and more intuitive "tabs."
- jheriko 17y agobad defaults = bad design, home and end should be the only keys that you need to work like home and end...
- zzzmarcus 17y agoIt uses emacs bindings. A lot of OS X does, they're actually really useful once you get familiar with them. I've also mapped caps lock to ctrl to make it easier on the pinky finger.
- masterj 17y ago>Ctrl+e and ctrl+a work like home and end in Terminal.app. I remapped Caps Lock to Ctrl for just this purpose, though I use iTerm. These shortcuts work system wide as well.
