Good on you. I disagree, for me.

Yeah, I found Rectangle last week. It's killer, especially on multiple monitors. I hate that macOS doesn't have a proper maximise function by default. The move-to-half-the-screen shortcuts are great.

You don't know the context, because OP didn't provide any details of what was being discussed. It's entirely possible that it was a valid call in some or all of those situations.

I think there's an added element of "some aspect of the strawman you're projecting on to others is actually something you think about yourself"

Yeah.. I have one for my desktop Linux machine, but mostly I'm on laptops, and moving around a lot, so not super practical.

Seems like a trolley problem to me

No context switching issues at all? If so, any ideas on how that came about?

I probably wouldn't get it unless you translate it to vim anyway 😘

At a university, so I guess yes?

Yeah, I use the laptop without a mouse a lot - I don't love carrying it around, and I sit on a couch a fair bit. The lack of a middle button like my lenovo has is annoying (but this is also an OS and shortcut thing - no middle-click selection paste in MacOS, and no middle click to close tab either).
I wouldn't touch an apple mouse with a ten foot pole 😅

Thanks, that's decent advice. Actually I think the different feel of the keyboard already does that to some extent. No so much the mouse, but that's an easier fix.

Have heard of that, will give it a crack, thanks!

So you tried it for a while and gave up? How long?

Yeah, the Cmd/Ctrl thing is the worst so far, because many of the combinations use the same letters, but the chord key is in a different place. But that also seems like the hardest thing to change..
I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while. I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too. So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

Well, they slow you down and get your car all dented and bloody
When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact? Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight). "Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
