The best thing Apple ever did was their implementation of the command key

Wrong. It's implemented uniquely on macOS. It performs all of the functionality control usually provides, but it's functionally separate, freeing up control for terminals or emacs or any other program. It would be a Herculean effort to achieve this on Linux or *BSD because the entire ecosystem has been built on top of the use of control.

Exactly, Apple users have no control over their computers. Linux users, and even some Winbugs ones, do.
command - primary modifier key for macOS shortcuts
option - primary modifier key for entering alternative characters (e.g. opt + a = å)
control - primary modifier key for Unix programs in a terminal emulator
all keyboard shortcuts except cmd + tab are customizable out of the box in System Settings
cmd + q = quit app
cmd + w = close window
cmd + n = new window / new file (if using a file-based app)
cmd + (shift + ) + tab = switch to next (previous) app
cmd + (shift + ) + ` = switch to next (previous) window (personally I change this to option + tab for better consistency)
control + (shift + ) + tab = switch to next (previous) tab
>command click in safari opens new tabs, but not in anything else
in most other contexts, cmd + click is for selecting multiple items, the way ctrl + click would in Windows
>also doesnt do anything with programs on the dock either
it shows you the Dock item's filesystem location in a Finder window. stop making shit up salty winbabby.

Atleast try to appear like an oldgay, homosexual.
i bounce back between a windows pc and macbook is there a way to emulate as much of the keybinds for macos in windows?
ahk
It's just the super key. It really took gayOS that long?
It's the super key but it's used more like Control on Windows or Linux for the UI. In the CLI Control is still Control.
The thing they did well is to make the cmd key for the shortcuts, like cut, copy, paste, search, select all, etc.
It leaves the ctrl key (remapped to caps lock) available for the motions, C-n, C-p, C-a, C-e, etc.
Motions from Emacs are top tier, but cut copy paste with C-w, M-w, C-y is weird.
How do I open up a clipboard manager? On windows I could just press Windows Key + V and get a quick pop up clipboard?
>bloat manager
what clipboard manager
it's cool i guess
there are some weird inconsistencies like cmd+t for new tab and cmd+w to close tab, but to change tabs it's ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab
i'm sure there's some thought process behind it but it's not very nice to use.
my pinky has zero trouble using ctrl and I switch between mac and linux every day
>No awkward pinky stretch
are you a girl with baby hands? what a silly question, of course you are. you're a mac user after all.
The control key was also a bad thing to use since those key combinations already had an existing purpose.
>yeah uh instead of one mod key for normal hot keys lets do two for no reason
best part is how dumb and inconsistent apple always is, command click in safari opens new tabs, but not in anything else, also doesnt do anything with programs on the dock either
its all a fricking meme
I despise it
Sup Jay
placement
I don't understand this praise.
>>No awkward pinky stretch
I don't understand this complaint.
>Wrong. It's implemented uniquely on macOS. It performs all of the functionality control usually provides, but it's functionally separate, freeing up control for terminals or emacs or any other program.
So it's the super key.
this shit is why i cannot switch between mac and PC, the shortcuts are completely different and it fricks my muscle memory
Some sort of switch just goes off in my head and I have no issues going between my OSX and Linux machines.
Though I recently put Linux on an old MacBook and I keep hitting the wrong modifier keys on that.
How do I F4 on MacOS TF2?
I do appreciate how VS Code shortcuts and Vim extension shortcuts don't interact on Mac. I end up having to do everything the Vim way on Linux.
