They do seem to have moved past the "minimalism for the sake of minimalism" of recent years - the Studio also has a nice selection of ports, and a theoretically-replaceable SSD. Just be sure to buy what you need now, because there's no upgrading.
Then there's the MacBook keyboard. Hello, what happened to PgUp/PgDn/Home/End? I use those a LOT, enough to be a deal-breaker.
- goosedragons 4y agoI'm pretty sure you can still do Fn+up/down/left/right to get PgUp/PgDn/Home/End. They just might not label it anymore. I don't think Apple ever had those keys on laptops. Prior to them adding the Fn key I don't think they even had a way to get them.
- MrDOS 4y agoCmd+Up/Down/Left/Right, not Fn, so those keybinds have always been accessible, even prior to the Fn key.
- goosedragons 4y agoI don't think so? Apple's list of shortcuts has Cmd+Up/Down/Left/Right as moving the insertion point for text to the beginning of document/line or end of document or line not Pg Up/Down/Home/End. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236
- DerekL 4y agoThat's right. On PCs, Page Up, Page Down, Home and End move the cursor, but on Mac, they only scroll up one page, down one page, to the start, to the end, respectively, without moving the cursor. (Also, the cursor is called the insertion point on Mac.)
- Jtsummers 4y agoHome/End on macOS have also been C-a/C-e for a very long time thanks to pervasive emacs key bindings throughout most text fields (goes back to NeXT, IIRC)
- ubermonkey 4y agoKeyboard shortcuts for all those thing exist in MacOS.
