The windows experience for string manipulation out of the box is 10000000% better than macOS.
There might be some configuration or third party software I can use to emulate it, but on windows I can treat space delimited words and lines with much more granularity than I can on macOS
- Groxx 2y agoI'm gonna have to massively disagree with you there. MacOS has (basic) emacs motion keys in very nearly every input in your entire machine, regardless of what app it is or who built it or what purpose the input is serving. And cmd-[common stuff] is frequently handled at the OS level via menus, so apps roughly never screw it up, and you can customize it across all of them. Windows and Linux have absolutely nothing on OSX's consistency.
- lovich 2y ago>has (basic) emacs motion keys well there you go, youve lost the majority of people who use computers. If you use emacs and/or vim or their various flavors then you are the equivalent of an f1 driver questioning why anyone uses an automatic vehicle. Id posit the fact that in my day jobs where I am issued a mac laptop that then plugs into a kvm switch where the keyboard does not match the same key commands as the OS unless I set up a ._ file, and that this has happened at multiple jobs going back to pre covid era, as a sign that macOS is actually a worse user experience. The customer is always right after all
- pxc 2y agoC-a, C-e, and some other Emacs basics shared by readline are universal defaults on, for instance, macOS. They don't get in anyone's way there.
