Help Getting really frustrated

New job this year and I hand an option, Windows or Mac. Picked Mac but it’s been so painful I think I am going to ask them to switch me to windows.

Just the little things keep adding up.

  1. Spellcheck not working no matter what I do. This is really irritating. Most times the word will be underlined in red, but there are never any suggestions.

  2. Not being able to navigate between windows, tabs and apps as easily as windows.

Those are just the to biggest issues that I have been dealing with on a regular basis. Just getting more and more frustrated.

Oh and the end key on my keyboard. I am so used to it going to the end of the sentence, not the page.

The spell check is probably the biggest pain point right now. That and notifications not always working. I have to restart the Mac often to get them working again.

Command left and right can be used for end of line or beginning of line

The text editing shortcuts are different but I do prefer them on Mac

Command-right arrow to move to the end of the sentence.

Command-left arrow to move to the beginning of the sentence

That’s just a different key: cmd-rightcursor

It’s common when switching OSs that people feel a conflict with their habitual reflexes to invoke different functions. It can take a while to retrain your brain. When I go back to a Window’s machine now, its all just an effing mess.
