It's pretty easy to push a key and find out what it does compared to imagining a key combination and trying to figure if that key combination even does anything

- anjc 15y agoNot only that but, as a new mac user, it seems like there are several common keystroke types. Fn+x, ctrl+x, alt+x, cmd+x, cmd+shift+x; maybe there's some logic behind it but i can't find any. It seems like the windows system is a bit more understandable. (if there's something obvious that i'm missing someone please tell me!)
- egypturnash 15y agoCmd: this is an important command we expect you to use a lot. Shift-cmd: wow this program has a lot of commands that people want shortcuts for. Shift-ctrl/alt: holy shit this program has a lot of commands. Shift-ctrl-alt: this program is probably old enough to vote, and has a huge ton of commands Alt: rarely used alone outside of terminal Ctrl: see alt Fn: NOT ON ALL KEYBOARDS. Used to force f-keys to output f-key codes instead of doing media control stuff, or to change cursors into page-up/dn/start/end.
- ugh 15y agoThat’s typical Windows chauvinism.
