I think the worst is the lack of support for 'click-through' behavior on MacOS. This is that you have to select a window first with left-click before being able to select UI elements within that window with left-click. The amount of time lost with extra clicks is incredible.
It is even more frustrating that this behavior is somewhat inconsistent, with some applications allowing this and others not (although it is more often the latter).
I made a workaround solution here with minimal setup/overhead: https://github.com/dainank/apple-click-through https://github.com/dainank/apple-click-through but I do wish someday this could be configurable in the OS as a setting.
- WillAdams 1mo agoThe clickthrough behaviour used to be the default in NeXTstep (and it was one of the things which I misliked not having when switching from my Cube to my work Mac and ThinkPad portable ages ago). The apps it works in are probably written in Cocoa née "Yellow Box" (allegedly so named because Bill Gates stated that rather than write apps for NeXT APIs he would instead....) The way I fix it when using my Mac these days is to only use apps written using Objective-C and so forth.
