Thanks! I might add that explicitly, but meant it to be included under "keyboard shortcuts according to platform human interface guidelines".

- magicalhippo 4y agoI think explicit might be better, because it goes beyond that. For example, pressing ctrl+v while having text highlighted should replace the text on Windows, but doesn't always with non-native editors. edit: btw, great article. I've worked on a cross-platform application (Windows, Linux, OSX) which went from using wxWidgets to Qt. Quite painful either way, and while Qt was a fair bit better on OSX at the time we still had to use tons of ifdefs and per-platform configuration. And while I've been a win32 GUI programmer for decades, I totally get why people reach for Electron or embedded web servers. It's a really hard problem space with lots of trade-offs to be made.
