Was in the same place a month ago, here is what I wish someone told me.
- You can move a file, just "copy" and then press option when "pasting"
- Command + Delete is deleting a file (del on windows)
- Rename file is Enter (f2 on windows)
- Command + tab actually works as intended
- Fn + Delete = del key
- Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Dn - different, you'll get used to it
- Learn Vim and Linux, as you'll use the terminal a lot
- Installing stuff is a bit weird - dragging the icon to the Applications shortcut, dmg files basically look like a virtual "drive" that you can eject
- No easy way to maximize a window, really, you need a 3rd party app
After getting used to the little quirks, you'll get used to the stability, and speed. Windows 7 is not a bad OS, but for some reason me and my wife fight over the MacBook Air more than on my Lenovo Thinkpad...
- tominated 14y agoYou can use Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Dn by holding fn while using the arrow keys.
- DerekL 14y agoYes, that's how you use them on a laptop or Apple bluetooth keyboard. But the point is, on Windows or Linux, they move the cursor, but on the Mac, they scroll the view but don't move the cursor. Home scrolls to the beginning and End scrolls to the end. On the Mac, to move the cursor by larger amounts, you combine command or option with an arrow key.
- chrismiller 14y agoYou can maximize a window by holding shift when clicking the maximise button.
- Zecc 14y agoDon't press Cmd+I when you have a bunch of files selected and you want to check how much space they take. Do press Cmt+Alt+I
