I get it that some might prefer a Linux or Windows, and I respect that. And that makes a big difference.īut then, I just like Macs because of how I use my computer.

Put simply, a Mac never (or very rarely) gets in the way of your work.

I remember the first month I spent on OS X (coming from 4 years of linux, 2 yr Ubuntu and 2 yr Arch, using both full desktop env (KDE mostly) and lightweigth window managers), everything works and works well and everything is ergonomic and makes sense. I see it as a linux that works perfectly out of the box. That's why I'm not switching from OS X anytime soon, it's ergonomic, the UI is sick, power user features everywhere, and a real unix. What's nice about it though is that it's the default setup, no third party app needed/config files. You can probably achieve a similar behavior on windows/Linux/whatever. I find that more elegant when you have a lot of windows opened, which i always have.īut all these are tiny little things that add up to something really nice to use, but each individually don't and will never justify OS X being the best OS in the world blah blah. on Mac, alt+tab switches between applications and alt+` switches between different instances of a said program. On Windows, alt+tab switches between all windows (including different instances of same program). No more alt-F4 to close windows, its cmd+Q, no more ctrl+B to bold a text, it's cmd+b, cmd+h minimizes/hides your window etc etc.Īlso, what i found infinitely annoying at first and that I really like now on Mac, is the window switching with the keyboard. Ultimately, I think it makes a lot more sense though. Or maybe I've just gotten used to using my thumb. VERY desturbing at first (I hated it), but never going back. You don't need to stretch you pinky/move you hand slightly to have access to shortcuts and that's so nice. Customize scrolling direction, scrolling acceleration, cursor acceleration, cursor sensitivity.Also, make the back and forward buttons universal. The command button is so much nicer to use, it's your thumb vs you pinky. To do this, consult our tutorial Set mouse sensitivity under MacOS X. Note that your mouse may be very slow to move. Your mouse now accelerates linearly and not exponentially. Also check the box Enable Mouse Acceleration at login to keep your settings with each reboot/login. Without having to refocus windows, which is really nice when you're typing something on the focused window.Īs for the cmd button replacing the ctrl button. To disable acceleration, position the cursor on 0. By default on Mac, if a window's focused, you can scroll another (unfocused) window by scrolling when you mouse is over it. What I absolutely fucking hate though, is working on Windows and not being able to scroll on a window that's not active. Honestly, i don't mind the window focusing on mac.
