This Mac thing is just a phase. Between the dominance of Windows and the energy of the open source desktops, it's hard to believe it's still around. Nice hardware though - assuming it lasts.
Best Shortcuts
Amusingly, the Mac has some of the most complicated and inconsistent keyboard shortcuts ever invented.
Type a directory location
- in the finder, and saving files using the default open/save dialog
Cmd-Shift G
Copy screenshot to clipboard
Cmd-control-shift-4 - press space if you want to switch to the "window" camera, then use the mouse to select your capture area.
Peeves
Too many to list. Let's just say "overrated" is probably going to be the summary after a couple of weeks of dedicated use.
- An article on UI that pointed out how valuable edges are - so much easier to "select" than any screen area (since when you overshoot you've still got it) - really turned me onto the sensibilites of a good UI design. So why, then, are the shortcuts for ejecting a CD and opening the insipid Front Row located in these key positions?
- Cursor keys - different combinations in every app. Why?
