so do most other commands that will be up there. also apple keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste are unusable

actually the command key is positioned better than the control key for commonly used shortcuts and i wish windows had swapped alt and ctrl either on the keyboard or in the software at some early stage.

ctrl is a very awkward key to use on a regular basis

alt is a terrible key for shortcuts that do not also involve other modifiers.

alt+c alt+x are unusable while control+c control+x are very comfortable

you can palm the old magic pad and still use 1 or 2 fingers :quagmire:

, but in addition to tripling its price, apple, in their infinite wisdom, made the force touch version 16:9 format and now it's impossible unless you have Shaq hands

i dont normally keep track or care what apple does but uh they replaced the function row with a touch thing and stripped out everything but usb-c ports? like no video out either?

though i gather they left the 3.5mm in still lol

What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?
If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions, you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code (https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204974)from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.

a guy at my work once devoted tens of minutes in a row to trying to convince me the apple keyboard is inherently superior to all others

At one point he was showing me how to use the shortcuts as though I didn't know how the command key worked and this would be a revelation to me and went, "doesn't that just feel natural" with the biggest :smug:
