![]() ![]() Honestly its only windows lite if you want it to be so and really everyone is basically xerox lite to some degree or another because we are basically using the same basic metaphors described therein. If you want to go all in on emacs you can make it your window manager too. With xmonad your window manager is a haskell program with awesome a lua one. Notably i3 has MUCH more powerful keybindings and treats individual monitors as virtual desktops. Tiling window managers like i3wm and 17 more are both minimal and powerful. The visual metaphor was better than macs and windows and to boot there were so many knobs you could tweak virtually anything. In 2009ish I had a ui where you could zoom out to a giant wall and rearrange all the windows on your virtual desktops and use a macish expose to bound to a mouse key to pick from the windows on the current desktop. With KDE + compiz + plugins the amount of functionality explodes, if you enable the close animation where all windows break into pieces and fly off screen literally. KDE has a LOT more functionality built in than windows is liable to just with kwin. Gnome for all its faults isn't really windows lite. There are so many possible graphical environments on Linux. Meanwhile, in macOS I am often told that if I am not loving the way that Apple has chosen for me to behave, then I must be expecting the wrong thing. Not sure what this means, but on my Linux desktops I have absolute freedom to make my keyboard and mouse to do just about anything I can dream of. As well as Double/Triple-click+Drag: it should select additional units not letters. > Support for Alt+Dpad(+Shift) and Command+Dpad(+Shift) is important IMO. On all systems, it can be combined with Shift to highlight the word. ![]() Jumping words is done with Ctrl+left/right arrow in Windows and Linux. > Word and like jumps in Windows also felt backwards to me. On macOS, Apple does not strictly enforce Cmd+, for opening preferences - any macOS app can use that for whatever they want. If every app on Windows and Linux decided to use the same exact shortcut for opening preferences, then we'd have that. The point though is that this is an app thing, not a macOS thing. To be fair - I assume the web page was capturing that shortcut. I just tried this in macOS (Catalina), in Chrome while I happened to be looking at a design page in and nothing happened. Command+, to bring up preferences is surefire, does linux/windows have the same yet?
