New ask Hacker News story: Mac's command key is worse than Window's ctrl
Mac's command key is worse than Window's ctrl

Long time windows + occasional linux user. Switched to Mac for the M2 Mac Book Air. It's a phenomenal piece of silicon + hardware. Fairly shallow learning curve on the switch since so much is cross platform electron apps these days. BUT ... Good god the command vs ctrl behavior is driving me nuts! (even with tweaking using Karabiner etc.) First, the ergonomics of ctrl (left pinky stretch) + any letter vs command (right thumb inversion) are night and day. ctrl for the win. Second - windows is so much more consistent for what the ctrl key does vs the super (windows) does. ctrl is almost always the modifier, Windows key is always OS level. Mac, it's all over the place. Am I just still on the learning curve and cranky, or does this seem like a worse user experience to any other dual wielders?
