Mac complaints
I just got a Macbook pro recently. Being a long time user of Windows and Linux, I can not help pointing out something that this new Mac computer makes me unhappy, though it has many things pleased me.
- No control key at right side
- No delete key, the delete key on the keyboard is actually backspace on Microsoft keyboard, you have to use “mac” + “delete” to perform the deleting
- No home, end, pageup and pagedown keys
- No obvious “cut file” functionality available in Finder
- No syntax highlight in Terminal defaultly

All legitimate gripes, here are workarounds:
No control key at the right side: No work around for that
Out of curiosity, what are you using the Control Key for on a Mac?
No delete key: Fair enough. I just got used to command delete.
Home, End, PageUp, PageDown: Command Up and Down do Home/End. I use two finger scrolling for PageUp/PageDown. Honestly, the Mac isn’t as keyboard friendly as Windows, but once I got used to the trackpad, it doesn’t slow me down.
Cut file: It’s a design decision. On Windows, if you cut a file, and then cut another file, your original cut is lost and gone forever.

I fell in the same boat when I got my MBP early 07.
fn+delete does delete, also in windows (bootcamp/vm).
The biggest disappointment is that IntelliJ’s keymap makes it a challenge to set something useful, like -w, as the keys to close a document. Who wants to use -F4 to close a file. I sometimes cycle through several files a minute and that’s a long stretch over the left side of the keyboard.
Finder is one of the most deficient pieces of MacOS. If I want to copy a folder to a place where a folder where the same name already exists it prompts to replace. “Replace” really replaces and it’s not kind enough to use the trash can to delete the original. I avoid finder if at all possible.

That’s interesting. I am a developer so I spend most of my time to write codes. Here are some scenarios when I need those keys:
I use emacs as an editor, so the right control is useful for me.
Home and End key help me to go to the beginning and the end of one line in the editor, I can use shift + home/end to select the whole line then perform some operations.
I think the track pad is the most cool and convenient thing on the Mac. I am just so used to non-Mac keyboard for so long

If you are a emacs user, it would be much easier for you.
ctrl+a = home
ctrl+e = end
ctrl+d = delete
These work in most of mac applications.
If you need color in terminal, put following line in .bash_profile
export TERM=xterm-color
