MacOS keyboard bindings: Need guidance

Open sebastian-pf9 opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

I moved from Linux to MacOS (not by choice) and even after 1 month, I still cannot build ANY muscle memory for basic text editing at all. While trying to understand why, I found out that micro has pretty unusual keyboard bindings by default.

I understand that Terminal or iTerm is intercepting those keyboard bindings, but even then I need some documentation to make me a proper setup:

  • How can I set things up to be able to update the selection?
  • is there a preferred terminal emulator? iTerm?
  • Is there a way to better integrate with the clipboard?

(I opened a similar issue for Kate: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499197 )

That depends on what muscle memory you have.

  1. What do you mean by update the selection?
  2. iTerm is the best, IMHO.
  3. Isn't it good enough? Where it doesn't work for you?
