Adding few more. - No cut-paste. - No tabs in Finder. - The missing delete key. (Backspace is renamed as delete) - The not-so-modern Terminal. (hence the wide usage of iTerm)

- Command-C / Command-V for cut and paste in OS X (if that's what you're looking for) - TotalFinder is a nice Finder replacement: http://totalfinder.binaryage.com/ http://totalfinder.binaryage.com/ - includes tabs and some other nifty features. Hope that helps a bit...

  Command-C / Command-V is copy-paste. Also I do use TotalFinder as a finder replacement. :)

    Command+x is cut, same as ctrl+x on windows. Might be application specific as I only tried in Chrome and Textedit but I'm fairly certain it is OS wide.

As mdaniel (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2294066 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2294066) mentions, it bizarrely does not work in one very specific, and presumably intentional, place—the Finder.

  Right on, TotalFinder has solved pretty much all my remaining gripes with Finder.

  I believe the poster meant "Command-X" on a file, not on text. In all other graphical shells, if I wish to move a file from one place to another, I do not have to have two separate windows open. Maybe Apple doesn't view this as a problem, but if you come from an OS that permits it, you miss it under OSX. It is especially weird given that CMD-c/CMD-v does work in Finder, just not CMD-x. That leads me to believe that it was intentionally omitted for some bizarre reason.

  Wow! I have been a mac user for almost 2 years now, and I didn't know that. Thank you.

  Yup, handy of them to label that functionality, eh?
