So I came up with a little alliteration to use when these moments happen, to remind me what goes where:Ĭotrols are for widows, coands are for acs. In the pressure of the moment, (because of course it always happens when I'm pair programming) I often forget which one actually works for which operating system. The most common mistake I make in running commands in Mac is pressing the control button to when I intend to press the command button.

Now, in a learning environment riddled with apple products and their seasoned users, I find myself in unfamiliar territory, and showing off my noob-ness when I accidentally still try to use Windows commands out of muscle memory.

I've worked with Macs on occasion for jobs in the past so the switch wasn't a total culture shock, but I never really took to mac's interface, and therefore have never worked with one personally or extensively until a few weeks ago. Recently I made the switch from a Windows operating system to a macOS, and while it's probably contrary to popular opinion, I still love and prefer Windows! I grew up on hand-me-down Dell's so I admit, I'm completely biased.
