I recently got a macbook for work and I can't believe how many minor things just can't be changed. I don't think you can change the date format in the top right. It seems like you can't get rid of that damn dock entirely without killing important processes and breaking things. (I'm able to hide it and put it in the left, so it's mostly out of the way, but it seems so anti-user to force this interface on everyone).
I haven't yet looked for a "how to effectively use mac keyboard shortcuts" comprehensive guide, instead I've looked for things as I need them. I can see the benefits for introducing "cmd" where "Ctrl" is usually used on other operating systems.
But I'm very disappointed by cmd tab and cmd backtick. Often I want to press a single keyboard shortcut to switch between three windows or so: usually a few browser windows, a terminal, and an IDE. cmd backtick switches between windows of the same program, cmd tab switches between programs.
Can any more experienced mac user tell me the way to do this properly? How to switch between a few separate windows, like alt tab, without having to think about what program they are?
