That's funny. After using a mac for several years, that's my biggest gripe about working on most linux boxes. OS X separates text viewing and editing functions (C-f, C-k, C-a, etc in eamcs parlance) from system functions (S-c :: copy, S-v :: paste, S-w :: close window). In Linux, ctrl-A will either get you a cursor at column one, or select everything. I wish it were easier to define these actions system-wide the way OS X does.
- reedlaw 12y agoTrue, there are application-specific mappings in Linux. But what gets me is the Mac keyboard layout is asymmetrical. The right-hand side does not include a Meta (Alt) key. That makes efficient keyboarding extremely inconvenient.
