Well, things like the home/end behavior and back/delete key behavior are different on OS X but behave the same on Windows, most standard linux flavors, Sun OS, many BSD flavors, and Chrome OS (I'll give you the argument that this is just linux with a coat of paint), to name a few off the top of my head.
When you take that into consideration, OS X is the odd one out.
I do agree that some of the things in the list aren't correct though, and some are definitely more subjective.
- PascLeRasc 6y agoI don't believe I've ever had a keyboard with Home/End keys. What do they do on OS X/Linux?
- dTal 6y agoHome and End move the cursor to the beginning and the end of the line, respectively, on any computer except a Mac. It's extremely unlikely that you've never had a keyboard with these keys!
- copperx 6y agoControl a and e (the Emacs shortcuts everybody knows) work on all Mac applications. That’s why home and end work differently.
- ajford 6y agoVim user: I think you mean ^ and $

- SecurityLagoon 6y agoYou have almost certainly had a keyboard with these, even if it was behind a fn key combo on a laptop.
