Switching from Windows PC to Mac and why I switched back

> File management is done by Finder and there is some very strange things. For example to enter a file (open it) you do not use the enter key but cmd+down and enter is for renaming (wtf!).

It definitely takes time to adjust for things. This example I find funny because to me the mac method makes sense. Cmd + Up/Down to go up or down file hierarchies, and Cmd + Down will also open files. For Windows it is Alt + Up to go up, but Enter to go down or open file. I find the symmetry of the mac binding more simple, but that doesn't mean that I don't adjust over time when on Windows.

Another bonus RE keybindings is that there are a number of system shortcuts that you can very easily change to your liking through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, without any additional software.

You might need more than 1 week to adapt. Most of these issues other than WinCSP are really superficial and it’s just like trying to learn a new program.

For WinSCP did you try cyberduck?

You can also run windows on your Mac in parallels, which might give you the benefit of speed of the m1 with the familiarity of windows, but you’ll still have to get used to the keyboard or use an external one.
