Could you list a few customizability examples which you could not do on OSX but are possible on KDE or Windows? I am a life long Windows user, used KDE quite a lot, and OSX for the last year, and I love OSX. I wouldn't claim it's more customizable, but to me it's about the same.
- jessedhillon 13y agoBind keyboard shortcuts to maximize (vertically, horizontally, or both), minimize, restore size, tile/split, move to adjacent desktop. There's a lot I could learn to deal with on Mac, coming from Linux, but it amazes me that this doesn't seem possible without Applescript.
- anonymoushn 13y agoI use BetterTouchTool to do these things. I'm told there are other tools, but this one works so far.

Also, you can add a 5th modifier key to avoid conflicts: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/ http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/
- banachtarski 13y agoThere are tools to do it as people allude to but I can't help but feel this is a square peg in a round whole solution. When I use linux, I use a tiling window manager, when I use OSX, I use tabbed terminals and fullscreen mode and workspaces. Also, I should note that the Command-~ functionality which doesn't exist on Windows and spotlight is enough to make me prefer the OSX desktop to the Windows one.
