On Win7 now, have been on the Mac and would get back if I had the means. One thing I will never get used to on Macs: no Ctrl-C.

- Jtsummers 14y agoWhat do you mean, "No ctrl-C?" As in no keyboard shortcut to copy? That's "command-c", just like pasting is "command-v" and cutting is "command-x". And if you mean ctrl-c, to kill tasks on the command line, that works just fine. And delightfully doesn't create confusion when you wanted to copy something out of the terminal instead of killing the program that was running.
- swah 14y agoSorry I mean't no "Ctrl-X" (is there Cut on OSX?) [edit: I've only used Snow Leopard]
- Jtsummers 14y agoYes, "Command-X" handles that case. Pretty much every editing shortcut from Windows converts over by using command in place of ctrl. Though I couldn't state that that's always been true, it has been as long as I have used Macs (late '06).
- ghshephard 14y agoYes, there is a cut/copy/paste (CMD+X, CMD+C, CMD+V). There was a time (don't recall which iterations) in which the MAC OS finder didn't support those three for _files_ - but I think they've always worked for images/text/etc...
- calinet6 14y agoThis has been added in 10.7 (albeit by a slightly different means): "Command-C" then "Command-Option-V" will remove the originating file. I actually like it better; you get to decide how to treat the files when the operation is actually executed, not when you initiate it. This negates the need to go back and remove the files when you realize you meant to Ctrl-X instead of Ctrl-C.

Cutting files hasn't been possible prior to 10.7)
