Setting up a new #Macbook and just going great!
1. Had to configure the Wi-Fi, timezone, etc. 3+ times before hitting the desktop.
2. Terminal settings hung multiple times, preventing force quit and full computer restart.
3. Switching to zsh completely borked my terminal because I was missing tmux.
Being a lifelong #Windows / #Linux user, I'm trying to keep an open mind with the new #Mac, but this is really hurting my brain.
You use Cmd / Option instead of Ctrl / Alt, which is a well-known pain point and I'm trying to work with it, but it's so much worse than just learning new hotkeys.
Most Ctrl operations on Windows are Cmd operations on Mac, but that's not universal. Ctrl+Arrows on Windows moves words, but it's Option+Arrows on Mac, not Cmd+Arrows.
You can't just think of this as "Mentally swap Ctrl and Cmd".
I'm using an external keyboard with Ctrl, Win (Super), and Alt keys. But none of those exist on Mac. Ctrl means a completely different thing, Super seems to be Cmd, and Alt is Option?
Cmd+C / Cmd+V for copy paste feels reasonable, but that's not what I'm typing. I'm effectively typing Super+C / Super+V and just confusing my muscle memory even more when I need to use the embedded keyboard rather than my external one.
Maybe I need to internalize Super = Cmd?
@develwithoutacause Going from macOS to Linux, I have many of the same problems in reverse. And because I still do use macOS and an iPad as well, wow my muscle memory has to work overtime. My fingers are basically bilingual now 😂
