Intuitiveness is a strange topic. Think of moving to the beginning and the end on the command line in the terminal. This is done using Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E keys. Is this intuitive? Yes, it is for someone who was using Emacs for 20 years as it uses same keys. Is this intuitive for a typical MS Windows user who uses Notepad++ and MS Word? Hell, no.
Same with operation systems. For someone accustomed to Windows conventions things like lack of Ctrl-X on Mac for cutting files (so after Ctrl-V they are removed from old location) will be counter-intuitive. For people living in Mac ecosystem this is natural and does not affect their workflow (they are even epic discussions on the topic in the Internet).
- cferr 5y agoI just use the Home and End keys in the terminal, which seems intuitive enough to me.
