Fellow IT nerds!
Why is Mac so crazy and inconsistent?! Was it developed by morons, imbeciles or idiots?
Why can't it be clear and easy to use? Like Linux!
Take Ubuntu: It's always CTRL-C to copy to clipboard.
Except in Terminal, where it's CTRL-SHIFT-C.
But please don't misunderstand me, I'm not judging others' abilities to adapt to trivial differences. Many of us in tech struggle with severe cognitive deficits. Besides, we're pros!
So here's a couple of tips:
Tip 1 - Use a mnemonic. Imagine your memories as a large castle with many rooms. After coming through the Linux foyer and through the Ubuntu hall, when you get to the Terminal room, think "I've got to SHIFT my thinking to use copy".
If that doesn't help, try admonishing yourself in the third person: "Buddy, it's SHIFT-ctrl-c. Do you wanna copy or not?!"
Back to Mac and why it's so shitty being trapped in its maze-like garden of walls... who can live like this?
