"Most" laptops actually do have an Insert key. Perhaps you've been using the wrong laptops? :)
Anyway, my comment was in jest. None of them are perfect, and to a non-Mac user, its imperfections make it "clunky", whereas they are used to imperfections of their go-to systems.
Bugginess one sees when switching to a Mac for the first time is really the same feeling for me like Linux feels to you.
- Wytwwww 2y agoI don't agree. This isn't about different behaviours in Linux vs Mac/Windows but rather about Linux apps having different shortcuts for common basic operations in different apps. That's just poor UX.
- necovek 2y agoI think Ctrl-C behaving consistently in a Linux terminal, be it an actual terminal or a GUI-based one, is good behaviour. Ctrl-C for "copy" actually came a long time after Ctrl-C already had a meaning in a text terminal. For that matter, how does Ctrl-C behave in Windows Command Prompt (if that's still how they call it)? In what way is it inconsistent: with the GUI or with the originating DOS terminal behaviour? Mac went with Command and Control as separate keys on a keyboard, which avoids this particular issue, but it gets confusing quickly: what's a "command" and what's a "control"? Which key is to switch workspaces, and why is that "Control" and not "Command"? With every single shortcut, I wonder which was the one I need to use, and it's so hard to remember. That's just poor UX.
