In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive?

Posted by Cliff on from the most-comfortable-in-finux dept.

HTMLChecker asks: "I found an article in which the author talks about how she is more productive using Mac OS X. What about the people of Slashdot? Where do you feel more productive, in Linux? Windows? DOS? Mac OS X? Also, what is the best way to rate productivity in an OS?"

    Doesn't work properly, or doesn't work how you expect it to? Two different things...

    Anyway, what you want is Command+LeftArrow and Command+RightArrow. That goes to beginning of line and end of line, respectively, on OS X.

    I like OS X, but every time I've used it I am amazed that Home/End doesn't work properly.

    Create a file ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict with this content:

    /* Home/End keys like Windows */
    {
    "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:"; /* home */
    "\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLine:"; /* end */
    "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* shift + home */
    "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:"; /* shift + end */
    }
