  I just got a Mac for work. The hotkeys are definitely worse

    After using both (windows personal , Mac work) , I personally find the hot keys more intuitive in some areas and worse in others. Command being the requirement for a lot of shortcuts makes it easier , but stuff like show desktop or lock were annoying until more recent versions.

      My point was that MacOS requires you to remember a bunch of shortcuts for basic things that Windows handles naturally. Like want to know what Windows you have open? On Windows you can tell that front the taskbar, on MacOS you have to remember a shortcut.

        That’s fair. The dots under the application in the dock let you know what is open. I find expose easier to use because you can see them all at once like you can do on windows. I only look at the dock to see what’s open on windows, and I alway group them which is probably why the Mac setup works for me

    im meant to use a Macbook for work. I don’t. I sign into it whenever they complain I haven’t signed into it and go straight back to using my old computer I formatted for work. it doesn’t even support two screens!

      Mx series MacBooks are a non starter for work since they only support a single external monitor like it’s 2002.

      Even the Mx Pro series MacBooks don’t support Multi Stream Transport, so are limited to only outputting two displays.

      I miss Windows.

    The Ctrl+X menu is the bomb.

    • Blank@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Also see Win+E and ctrl+w

      source

      • funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Win+V / Win+Shift+V / Ctrl+Shift+V for text manipulation

        Win+[1–9] to launch apps or alt+space (might require powertools)

        win+ctrl+d win+ctrl+[⬅️/➡️] for VDs

  Yeah, I wish I never had to use a mouse. Only serves to slow things down. Obviously, gaming, necessary, but anything productive, taking your hands off the keyboard is a waste.

  I am not a programmer, either. Using Excel and Word are secondary functions in my job, basically administrative, making invoices, record keeping, but they function so much better with your hands on keyboard. Alt menus for the office suite are time savers. And the stupid expensive bullshit proprietary software I use for my work is basically built to use hotkeys.
