![]() I do really like Raycast/Alfred, but I miss the comfort of an organized start menu. Start Menu Tiles and the ability to mix files/apps is way more powerful and behaves the way I expect. Doesn't open as easily as the start menu, with it's own dedicated button, and organizing it is terrible. Launch Pad: I forgot about this, I removed it from the dock. I really really try to like Safari, but every time I start trying to use it as my primary browser, I start running in to annoying roadblocks that insist I work in the "Apple way". I'm going to have to live with it, because the half-dozen or so third-party applications that I've tried to recreate Windows behavior either fail, work differently than I want, or have been abandoned.īrowser: I was specifically saying not this. I don't think I'll use it with a keyboard shortcut, so maybe I can remember to use it this way.Īlt+Tab: Using Ctrl+` tab switch between windows of an application is annoying second layer to me. Since Windows 10 things are on more even footing in my view, although some details in macOS Network and Displays are annoyingly hidden in some versions.ĭesktop Peek: I'll try setting this up on a hot corner and see how it works for me. From 2007-2015, the Vista-era control panel split things awkwardly between the “new style” Vista panels and old-style windows XP/2000/98 panels. From 2001-2007, there’s no contest that System Preferences is better organized than Windows XP’s control panel. Settings layout: this one is opinion I’ve always found Windows settings horribly organized. Otherwise, isn’t “apps are files, drag to install, cmd-delete or drag to trash to uninstall” objectively simpler than using a wizard to install, and digging around in a control panel to uninstall?įunction key row: you can swap the behavior of the fn row so that the keys send Fn1-Fn12 by default, and needs the fn key held down to send commands like “volume up”. Uninstall vs delete: apps installed from the Mac App Store can be uninstalled from launchpad. Start menu to see all apps: this is called “Launchpad”, and is in the Dock by default for new macOS users, but can be removed. This typically has better number-of-keypress to get the window you want compared to Windows alt-tab which requires iterating over all windows in the worst case. I usually end up frustrated at things that work on Windows but don't on MacOS, but rarely vice versa.ĭesktop peek: Part of “Mission Control”: spread thumb and 3 fingers, or press Fn+F11.Īlt tab: press cmd-tab to cycle applications, then cmd-` to cycle windows of that application. ![]() ![]() And I still use Windows for work, but use Mac in personal usage. Many of my friends are masters of switching windows with Expose, which I absolutely despise. That said, I've used Windows for almost 15 years now, and I think many of its choices are second nature to me. In some cases, an actual function key row The concept of uninstalling an application vs just deleting the application Better settings, especially when it comes to relevant settings being in one place File Explorer is much more full-featured than Finder A start menu for seeing all your applications ![]() A modern/fully-featured default web browser without a locked down extension ecosystem. Alt-tab, especially when it comes to apps with multiple windows, and windows in different states, such as minimized Quick hide-all-windows to copy something from your desktop to your clipboard, then bring everything back ![]() The window history thing, Timeline, is something that I have disabed, but honestly sounds like an even better version of Recent Files, which is something many people use and might like something more full featured. I think that Windows again has the superior implementation here.Īero shake was pretty terrible, no arguments here. that's exactly how I would expect virtual desktops to behave? If it only changed a single monitor, does that mean you'd have to go to each monitor to change to a different virtual desktop? Do you see virtual desktop configurations specific to each screen, or any screen? What happens if your screens are different resolutions. I don't currently use multiple monitors, but I do use virtual desktops, and. But anyways, that choice is made available to you. It lets me treat recent tabs the same way as I would treat recent applications, which many websites effectively are. Alt-tab to switch between browser tabs in Edge is new, a setting that you can turn off, and in some cases, it's actually very useful, since you can limit the number of tabs. ![]()
