My favorite thing about this is a checkbox in Xcode's Interface Builder (or whatever it's called now) for menu items image — "Only for macOS 26".

> "This transition has previously been presented as peaceful. However, our study indicates the opposite. In addition to violent death, it is likely that new pathogens from livestock finished off many gatherers," says Anne Birgitte Nielsen, geology researcher and head of the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at Lund University.

Mac equivalents to Windows Home and End are Cmd-ArrowUp and Cmd-ArrowDown. Fn-Left and Fn-Right are Mac-flavored Home/End, which don't move the text cursor, but scroll the text container, keeping cursor in its original place (although there's no distinction when viewing documents, e.g. in a web browser).

FYI, batch rename (with counters and some patterns, but not regex) and Copy as pathname (hold Option) are already Finder features.

You can also use Emacs keys (Ctrl-D) for one-handed delete. Very convenient when Caps Lock is remapped to Control.

It's recorded in the HTML5 spec under 4.2.5.1 Standard metadata names, which defines the correct format and parsing:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#meta-k...
So, it's standardized and not deprecated.
It has this note though:
"Many search engines do not consider such keywords, because this feature has historically been used unreliably and even misleadingly as a way to spam search engine results in a way that is not helpful for users."
HTML 4.01 says the following:
"This specification does not define a set of legal meta data properties. The meaning of a property and the set of legal values for that property should be defined in a reference lexicon called a profile. For example, a profile designed to help search engines index documents might define properties such as "author", "copyright", "keywords", etc."

Why is meta keywords deprecated? I use them for my custom website search. I don't care that external search engines don't index it.

There's more to it than just using a memory safe language.
