Let me check something... I open "Terminal.app" and what is this? I can't move around my cursor with my keybindings that I use in Sublime and VSCode (Cmd + Arrow to jump to start or end of line). Why do I quit a session with Ctrl + D? What is even this Ctrl key, I'm used to Cmd + anything on the Mac?
Isn't it odd that devs spend a lot of time in the Terminal, but apparently aren't as obsessed about the inconsistent keybindings vs the rest of macOS there?
- dmitriid 5y agoOne app with inconsistent behaviour is fine. Many/All apps is not. Moreover, the internet is full of people asking how to enable MacOS shortcuts in Terminal. And iTerm.app even comes with a "natural editing" preset precisely because of that.
- deergomoo 5y agoI dunno, I’ve been using iTerm for years, which fully supports Cmd+arrow to jump to the start and end of lines. You’re correct, it would very much annoy me if my terminal was inconsistent with the rest of the system, and I am disappointed that the system terminal is not setting a good example.
