Having an additional dedicated modifier key is night and day in terms of creating shortcuts. I don't see how they're equivalent. F2 is vastly inferior to press

I don't see how they're equivalent. F2 is vastly inferior to pressing the enter key to renaming a file. Alt + F4 to close a window as opposed to cmd + w.
Can you name shortcuts that are more convenient on Windows than on Mac?

That wasn't my argument > They seem to be just as inconvenient and requiring a rebind on both systems But they exist: Screenshot with PrtScn (or even Windows key + Shift + S) is better than the 3/4 Mac ones > F2 is vastly inferior to pressing the enter key to renaming a file. It's actually close to objectively better (though not a good one): - Enter is a side-ways-stretch pinky key, so one of the worst keys out there (Backspace is worse since it's diagonal stretch) - F2 is a middle-finger vertical key, so more convenient Besides, this blocks opening files with Enter in the dumb Mac file manager, so add that to the downsides of superior Mac shortcuts
- dottjt 3y agoFair enough. I guess ultimately it comes down to what you're used to and what you prefer. I think more than anything, it's difficult to discredit something that you don't actively use and aren't completely familiar with. Like I'm just saying Windows is shit because it's not Mac, but that's disingenuous because I don't actively use Windows as my main OS. But hey, if you like Windows, use Windows. If you like Mac, use Mac.
