Wrong. I’m using it for over 15 years now! And I’ve never ever even just heard about this. And keyboard shortcuts are the first thing I look for in any app. Hen

- diffeomorphism 4y agoWrong on your part. Macos had these keybindings since forever. They are not just per app but everywhere. > I’m using it for over 15 years now! And I’ve never ever even just heard about this. Wow, that is embarrassing. Edit: For example https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/TextDefaultsBindings.html https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co...
- leobg 4y agoI’m not embarrassed at all. Else I wouldn’t have dared to ask. And would never learn anything new.
- diffeomorphism 4y agoSorry, I meant embarrassing for apple. It tells you something about their UX if features like these can be missed for 15 years. I included a link in the previous post. Apps using cocoa inherit the emacs keybindings automatically and hence they are widespread on mac. Side note: emacs keybindings are less widespread on Linux, because you don't have such a component and GNU readline has a too strong license. So ironically emacs makes a strong case for using a proprietary OS.
- leobg 4y agoHa. Thanks for clarifying. I had read your comment the other way around and thought you were trying to be rude. I guess if someone knows emacs then maybe they’ll just try those key bindings and discover that they work. I never worked with emacs, but I would have learned the shortcuts had I known they existed. It’s what I’m going to do now.
