But that may be nothing to do with the operating system's code.
It's true that on a mac you expect to press ⌘ c instead of ctrl c to copy. I think it's a lot more work that it perhaps sounds. The Solus maintainers of Budgie have also recently accepted a patch upstream so that Kinto will no longer need to patch the DE for proper Cmd-Tab Window/app switching support. I have tested this distro, among others with Kinto to ensure that it works as expected. # Right click the tray icon and re-apply your keyboard type for changes to take affectĪlso if your goal is to have a mac like experience on Linux then I would recommend using Ubuntu Budgie and enabling the built in Global App Menu extension. # typically xkeysnail does not install as a service - specific to Kinto only I am the author of Kinto and I believe I have worked out the most problematic challenges to getting mac like keybinds working under Linux or Windows.Īfter install if you need to modify the config file for Kinto then look at this location. Of course there is autokey, xmodmap, xkbcomp, xbindkeys and others that can assist, but I have not found any of them to be as easy to work with if you want to resolve potential conflicts with relative ease. If you are mindful of GUI apps vs terminal app differences and potential conflicts within a DE & how that can impact the hotkeys of some hotkey driven apps then you can actually resolve it pretty well with apps like xkeysnail in particular. Truth is it is very difficult to implement correctly as a simple key swap is not sufficient, but it is close. I'm fairly certain that this is not copyrighted by Apple, such a basic concept is almost certainly uncopyrightable. It's probably a minor quibble, but it just seems strange that no one in linux has had this frustration and not thought of the Mac way of doing this and just implemented the standard of using the command/super key for standard keyboard shortcuts in place of Ctrl. That means when you're in the terminal, you have to use a different keyboard shortcut for cut, copy, paste, new window/tab, and quit, etc. I would have thought that it would make sense to implement this in a linux distro, but it seems like every linux distro ever has just copied their keyboard shortcuts from the windows world where Ctrl is used for standard keyboard shortcuts, necessitating that Shift is also added when you're using the terminal app. I appreciate the ability to copy and paste to and from the terminal with the same shortcuts as elsewhere, and I'm puzzled that no linux distros have picked up on this, as typically linux is more terminal focused than macOS. I'm a Mac user and I always wonder why there isn't a linux distro that's picked up using the same system of keyboard shortcuts, in particular using the command/super key for typical global shortcuts like ⌘+ X for "cut", ⌘+ C for "copy" and ⌘+ V for "paste".
