Remember when Mac was intuitive?
I dig these cheat sheets but wow, what a total shift in paradigm from when you had one mouse button and if a feature wasn’t discoverable then it wasn’t shipped
- dkga 2y agoI think the issue goes beyond this. I get that Apple was always opinionated and wanted to ship intuitive features. Now they lost track of the intuitive and continued with the opinionated part, which degrades the experience in my opinion.
- nottorp 2y agoWe sure (most) of these features haven't been available for ages?
- jrmg 2y agoMost of these features have been available, for years, if not decades.
- crazygringo 2y agoApple has been using these non-discoverable keyboard modifiers since the very start. I remember using them with System 6 back around 1990. Their design philosophy has always been discoverability for regular features, and then these extra "hidden" features for power users. Nothing has changed.
- cosmic_cheese 2y agoYep, a number of these tips are Classic Mac OS holdovers.
- kps 2y agoFor a long time, Macs shipped with a tutorial that trained people to double-click. Unlike a second button, it's not discoverable.
- mikestew 2y agoJust because you didn’t know about a feature doesn’t mean it didn’t ship. Why do you think those modifier keys were on the keyboard to begin with? Because many of these features have been there for decades.
