As I've been a windows user as long as I can remember, Mac OS always seemed like the COOL OS. until I started using it. I mean, seriously apple? you cannot cut and paste a file? you cannot move a window to another monitor if there's an app in full screen? screenshots are saved in the desktop instead of a dedicated folder & I cant even change it?

This shit again…

You can cut paste, it just works differently:
You copy a file, then go to the destination and "move" instead of "paste".
I explained it other rants how this makes more sense for files specifically.

You can‘t move a window into a fullscreen mode because it‘s in fullscreen exclusive mode. It doesn‘t make sense to have multiple windows on a desktop in a mode which specifically is made for a singe window to exist in fullscreen.

@Lensflare what do you mean there's no reason to have multiple fullscreen windows? That's literally how I work all the time and alt+tab between them constantly. Honestly an operating System has no Business telling me how many and what windows I have opened on which monitor, I can manage them myself thank you very much

I mean move/paste... Fine.. can live with that but mac is missing so many standard Things It's ridiculous. I will die on this hill if I have to. I cant enter folders with enter, I can't copy paths to directories from Finder, I can't click on a path to edit it manualy... I don't care if there's some hidden way to do it, it should be intuitive, not some kind of hidden feature. "Think Different" my ass. If cars did this shit we would have so many more accidents. The only part of Mac OS im comfortable with is zsh

@Hazarth

About the fullscreen mode:
The wording is a bit misleading. You can have multiple fullscreen windows on one desktop, that‘s not an issue.
What op was referring to (maybe without realizing it) is a special mode for windows, where you can put one window into a separate desktop and it is full screen. So you have your whole screen for just one window. You can quickly navigate between desktops. You can also have multiple desktops with multiple windows each. But it doesn‘t make sense to drag additional windows into a desktop that is specifically showing another window in this single-window-fullscreen-exclusive-mode. I don‘t know what the official name is.

It‘s like complaining that you can‘t drag windows on a fullscreen game in Windows.

@Hazarth

Mac isn‘t missing anything. All that you mentioned, open folder, etc. is there. It’s just different hotkeys. It’s only unintuitive for you because you are used to the Windows way. One could argue that it’s very intuitive to edit the folder name when pressing Enter. It’s all subjective and a matter of what you are used to.

Btw you can edit all hotkeys and make it behave almost exactly like on Windows.

wanted to jump in and rip that small human apart but @Lensflare already did that

The only time I used a mac, I could because all the symbols weren't displayed on the keyboard.

I don't know if it changed since then.

@Jabb03 huh? Could you rephrase that into something that makes sense?

@Lensflare

*couldn't

sorry

More specifically, the "|" (pipe) was nowhere to be found.

@Jabb03 yeah the pipe is still missing. It is a bit annoying at first but after a few days it just gets into your muscle memory as any other key.

@Lensflare bold of you to assume Im a Windows user. Been using linux for close to 8 years now. So far every distro I used worked pretty much the same, Mint, *buntu, debian, Kali, Puppy... Whatever else I used in my time. As far as I can tell pressing Enter in a file manager opens the file/folder. I mean It's been like that even in all win versions and even in DOS with Norton Manager. Everywhere except freakin' Finder. The key is called "Enter"... Not to mention that one of the most prominent keys on the keyboard should be used for one of the most common file operation in the application! Why would I want to go around renaming files all day every day with a big key in the middle of my keyboard? Makes no sense from UX perspectice and makes no sense semantically. That's as if your left mouse button changed font color instead of changing cursor position and selecting text.

Im not saying mac is the worst, but Finder specifically should burn in hell

@Hazarth fair point

@Hazarth && @Lensflare
And that's why the enter key on the keyboard is bigger than any other key.
Because it is important.
ENTER
