One of the few times I’ve been able to appreciate their eccentricities was when using Ctrl+w to delete a word in a shell environment in a remote desktop environment inside a web browser. I pressed the key combination out of habit, cringed as I realized I’d just closed the tab and would have to reauthenticate several times to get back to it, then was delighted to realize I hadn’t closed the tab because I hadn’t passed command+w.

Putting all keyboard shortcuts on ctrl is pretty brain dead when there are so many other modifiers available.
This isn’t even a new idea or anything. The Amiga had its own key for that purpose and lots of Unix machines did as well like “meta”.
Bud there’s plenty of things on alt and winappleta
Sure. But not the most commonly used shortcuts to cut, copy, paste, undo.
Just the kind of insight I would expect from the best boyfriend in the world.
