> The PC and Linux worlds are not going to adopt Mac keyboard layouts. As the one oddball computer manufacturer that uses their own layout, perhaps it's time for Apple to offer PC keyboard layouts as an option on their machines out of consideration for people who have to use multiple platforms. I switch between Mac, Linux, and Windows. The Mac is the only one with a usable, consistent terminal. Linux and Windows both have really fucked up copy/paste. Shift+Insert, Control+Shift+V, right-click, middle-click… what a goddamn mess. For some reason, Windows, which was supposed to have “right-click brings up a contextual menu everywhere” decides to make right-click do some weird almost X11-like copy-pasting in the terminal. Linux at least has the half-sane Control+Shift+C and Control+Shift+V but there’s multiple clipboards, and different applications may only use a subset of those. Mac? ⌘C copy. ⌘V paste. Everywhere. Terminal, no terminal, same everywhere. Hands stay in center of keyboard where they belong. No reaching for the “insert” key, which is a recipe for typos. Let’s not make the Mac worse just to make things consistent.
