> The consistency of macOS keyboard shortcuts is one of the main reasons I have huge problems switching to Linux or Windows.
When I left Mac 8 years or so it was quite the opposite:
- home and end depended on application, the only one that worked consistently was ctrl - e and ctrl - a but they didn't work with shift so select to end of line was hit and miss
- one of the shortcuts that sometimes worked was cmd - left, unfortunately that was mapped to go-back-one-page in Safari. Kknd of annoying when you try to select a sentence in a form and end up losing all your carefully crafted edits.
- fn button in the place where ctrl is supposed to be, but only on laptop and small keyboards, not on the full size one. Not remappable (I understand this is fixed now).
I struggled with that machine for three years. After that I realized that Macs are perfect - for Mac people, not for Linux peasants like me.
