Currently contemplating the switch as well. Any recommendations about making the keyboard shortcuts as similar to macOS as possible? I'll be using my MBP, and after years of muscle memory, it'd be nice if I could continue using CMD as the primary modifier key for all things: clipboard, navigation, etc. I know you can configure everything, but maybe there's some easy patch or pre-configured plugin for KDE?
- heavyset_go 6y agoTake a look at my response[1] from a couple of weeks ago to a similar question on HN. The tl;dr is to use Plasma Desktop, take advantage of its ability to create keyboard shortcuts for everything, and use Plasmoids to create a global menu and dock. I didn't mention it in the post, but KDE Connect[2] works on most desktop environments and integrates with tablets, phones and other computers, and it's great. There's sandbox info in the parent post[3], if you need a sandboxd replacement, too.

- heavyset_go 6y agoNo problem. Check out r/unixporn and r/kde on Reddit, too, there seems to be a trend of some users mimicking macOS flows on there.
