I swear, every time I have to use a Mac and the End key accidentally goes to the end of the document instead of the end of the line, I get a picture in my head of this smug looking guy in a black turtleneck laughing at me.
(And yes, Mac people, I know about Karabiner. Don't bother telling me how I can adapt or how great and superior your Mac is.)
Surprised to hear that there is a user of this button. I don't think I've ever used them, and in the last decade or so I've bought keyboards that don't have them at all.
Ctrl-end to end of document, used by most other OS, is a lot more sane. There was absolutely NO technical reason to change this behavior, other than to stockholm Apple users who might think of leaving the ecosystem.
There might be some configuration or third party software I can use to emulate it, but on windows I can treat space delimited words and lines with much more granularity than I can on macOS
Windows and Linux have absolutely nothing on OSX's consistency.
well there you go, youve lost the majority of people who use computers. If you use emacs and/or vim or their various flavors then you are the equivalent of an f1 driver questioning why anyone uses an automatic vehicle.
Id posit the fact that in my day jobs where I am issued a mac laptop that then plugs into a kvm switch where the keyboard does not match the same key commands as the OS unless I set up a ._ file, and that this has happened at multiple jobs going back to pre covid era, as a sign that macOS is actually a worse user experience.
The customer is always right after all
