Mac OS x is compared with Windows concepts, vocabulary, and hotkeys, allowing you to overwrite Mac OS X

If you keep using the Windows operating system, whether it is normal operation or development, and suddenly switch to Mac OS X, you will find many inconveniences.

Because many concepts and nouns are different, it is very difficult to learn a new knowledge system. Especially for developers, the previously familiar hotkeys are different in Mac OS X and XCode, greatly reducing their development efficiency.

I recently spent some time in XCode, but I found that some Mac concepts can correspond to a specific concept of Windows, and the terms are very similar, the operation of the operating system is similar, and the operation hotkeys are similar. You only need to change the key slightly to adapt to the operations of Mac OS X and XCode. This article will record these comparisons at any time, and some may find more comparisons.

For example, the File Manager is called Explorer in Windows and Finder in Mac OS X, which has similar meanings and different words.

Mac OS X has two special keys: Option and Command. Windows has two special keys: Windows and Context.

The functions of many buttons on a Mac keyboard are the same as those on a Windows keyboard, but their names are different. The following are some buttons:

 

Most of the Ctrl keys in Windows are changed to the Command key (windows keys can be used in virtual machines)

Copy, paste, and clipboard are the most common ones. Replace the Ctrl Key with the (Command Key) (you can use the windows Key + Key in the VM, and only move the pointer from the Ctrl Key to the right to the Windows Key)

Copy Ctrl + C,

Paste Ctrl + V,

Cut Ctrl + X,

Select Ctrl +,
