Oh, yes, absolutely. CUA was 100% clearly IBM's response to the Apple HIG. But it was a good one and mostly it's won. It did adopt Apple's Ctrl-X/C/V for cut/c

Oh, yes, absolutely. CUA was 100% clearly IBM's response to the Apple HIG. But it was a good one and mostly it's won. It did adopt Apple's Ctrl-X/C/V for cut/copy/paste, but that's about all. Mac OS X isn't very compliant, no, but it's quite a bit closer than Classic MacOS was, and I find that very welcome. The menus, the hotkeys, the editing keys and so on mostly just work. All you do is use Cmd instead of Ctrl and it becomes invisible.

On the Mac its easy. Command-A selects all text. Control-a moves to the beginning of a line. Both in Apple's Textedit and in Emacs on the Mac. > Cmd instead of Ctrl For half of the keys this won't work. For example the Function keys. Search something is Command-F. On Windows next search is F3. On the Mac it is Command-G. F3 for search does not work on the Mac. Worse, to type F3 on a Macbook keyboard I need to press World-F3. My personal favorite would be to have a modern clone of the Symbolics keyboard... the "keymacs" keyboard, in the version with the original Symbolics keyboard layout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl8CGGOrxXE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl8CGGOrxXE Available from https://keymacs.com https://keymacs.com .
