![]() ![]() I've also worked on my own toy terminal emulator and shell. I've been using Windows for ~10, Linux for ~20, and Mac for 4 years. ![]() > you gotta love Mac users and their cultural bubble I don't think it's that easy to confuse one for the other? One of these patterns visible here is deliberate design, the other is piled up coincidences. Windows could've chosen to use Win-W for that, but ignored the opportunity. Windows couldn't use Ctrl-W to mean "close the current tab" in every single application, because - indeed, in a game, holding down Ctrl could mean crouch/sneak, and W to move forward. You're literally having your cake and eating it too. This sort of thing is consistent in every app. You know what else? Ctrl-C in Terminal.app does the same thing as Ctrl-C in an xterm. all do wildly different things, depending whether you are in an xterm, cmd.exe, a game, Emacs, or some other app. Whereas Ctrl-C, Ctrl-T, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-S, on Windows/Linux. ![]() And so on, in any app, tracing back to 1984 or so. > on Macs the CMD key is simply a poor man's CTRL key, except when you are in a terminal, where you have to use CTRL again.Ĭmd-F in Notes.app, finds things in the current note.Ĭmd-F in Terminal.app, finds things in the current terminal session's history.Ĭmd-C in Terminal.app, copies the selected text.Ĭmd-W closes the current window/tab. The look on their face when they realized they were "prepared" to fight a kid and the realization as I openly allowed them to inspect the PC for whatever they thought was modified on it was hilarious. Eventually after a series of absurd kills they angrily stormed over to our room in a hostile manner ready to fight and 100% convinced I was somehow cheating. They didn't know who I was and every time I would stomp them they would yell "FUCK" from the other room. I can still remember vividly as a 14 year old playing the game and completely dominating a room full of 20-something older guys in the other room. This meant you could be playing CS and spawn in the same room that you were actually sitting in. Some of the players got together and actually mapped out the entire netcafe store itself and some of the surrounding area to create a "de_" style map. There was a small netcafe nearby when I was young that had a good quality T1 connection and hosted their own CS servers.
