#Apple #MacOS managed to pleasantly surprise me for once
You have to pay me pretty well to use Mac OS or Windows… and that is what my new employer is doing, so I have started using Mac OS as a daily driver again for the first time in over 15 years. For the most part I have been quite disappointed with how things have changed in that time.
But, I just discovered one little detail in the Mac OS “Text Edit“ application that made my day: it has a few of the Emacs key bindings built-in. You can do Control-N,P,F,B to move the cursor around, Option-Control-F,B to jump around words, and Control-Y to paste text. (Unfortunately, Control-W does not copy text.) I am sure there are a few others, I haven’t bothered to check yet.
Well done, Mac OS engineers.
