CTRL instead of CMD ... Solved
-
Being a scummy web dev and now massive macfag I tend to use the terminal quite a lot.
- On a mac most of the time I tend to use cmd + shortcut key.
- In the terminal it is ctrl + shortcut key.
This is a bit odd switching between the two.
Can I map one or the other so they are consistent?

@error I didn't even though it was from 4chan. I just find it funny.

Gut says yes, experience says "maybe, depending on how much wizardry you have..."

@error Then no. The amount you have to have is 0.

A lot of them are funny. The /b/tards think it's cool and edgy to use all the slurs they can. That's one aspect I could stand to see stay away from these parts.

Is this like THAC0?

@bb36e I don't know how people find funny stuff in 4chan, whenever I look at it all there is in it is porn.

@fbmac /ck/ has some comedy gold (mostly food abominations and the cooking thereof). I haven't been there in a long time though.

@error It not edgy or cool, it just a bit of a joke that become lingo at some point.
I love all these memes because the distill the essence of something down to the truth of it. PC MASTER RACE and MacFag are my favourite.

@lucas1 Not sure about modern systems (this was a few versions of MacOS ago, maybe around 2012), but I had some success by using a X11-based terminal and the then-default X11 server that's included in MacOS. There you can remap keys independent from the rest of the system via xmodmap/xkbmap and so on. It'll apply to all X11-based applications, but those all tend to use ctrl-shortcuts anyway.
(Note: I also used Ukulele to change the overall keyboard map to something slightly less insane than is default on macs. Fuck, why do macs exactly feel the need to shuffle around the special characters? Also, fuck macs.)

I would advise against that. After a while, you'll find it pretty useful that the standard shortcuts don't collide with the terminal commands. It's one of the things I liked about the Mac I had to use for iOS development.

That was great internet drama in it's time. I hope there is a good thread about it to necro somewhere in this forum.

You mean the shortcuts like Ctrl+A to go to the start of the line? I would suggest not trying to map one to the other, because you’ll end up with a lot more confusion — not to mention that most of the common ⌘-shortcuts also do their normal thing in the terminal anyway. (Or to put another slant on it: if you're used to the Ctrl-shortcuts in the terminal, you can also use them in all text fields in other programs except those made by Adobe or Microsoft.)

@fbmac He tried to bring it back to the forefront with his anti-Star Citizen rants and actions, but it just didn't stick.
Honestly, if the guy's name wasn't "Smart", I bet none of the memes would have gone anywhere in the first place. He'd just be yet another whiny indie game developer.

@Gurth I used to use OSX Jaguar/Tiger at Uni so I am still re-discovering how to use it.
