  • Yes, but it breaks so many other tools that it is basically not worth. For example, all shell shortcuts (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E, Ctrl+W etc.).

    Neither me nor anybody in my company found a viable solution which is to ultimately learn to use cmd for certain things on Mac (like copy/paste).


  • Oh yeah, I have same issue. Certain things are impossible to enlarge. It’s infuriating.

    Same with moving window controls on the right. You would think a “premium” OS would let you choose trivial things like this, but no.

    Apple “superior” workflow means bending to use tools and workflows they designed, the way they intended. Anything else and you are generally going to be blocked one way or another.


  • Being in a similar situation as you (have to use for work), I would also add the fact that docking station support when it comes to displays is awful, almost nobody got 2 displays working with the dock and I have to plug one HDMI directly into the Mac. Then there is the fact that it’s impossible to turn on the computer via the docking station button, so I had to just use sleep instead, and 40% of the times the USB peripherals get disconnected, so I can’t wake it up except by unplugging and replugging the docking cable.

    Besides that, I have 2 2k display and using Mac they are substantially more blurred than they are with Linux or windows.it’s like if everything is bold on Mac. Apparently it has to do with some feature which got removed for non-4k monitors or something.

    Thankfully we managed to get Aerospace now installed (I.e. approved), because being used to efficient i3-like window managing, using macos native window management felt like being back in bronze age. There are so many things that apple built expecting you to use the trackpad for efficient workflows… Why would I use a trackpad in a (home) office setting, when it’s terrible for ergonomics, requires the laptop to be open etc…
