It's easy to forget that this little beast is all pervasive and can be customised so much. Every time I set up a new Mac, I feel happy it is here, but scared that one day it will just stop working. The perils of closed source, I guess.
I was shocked and delighted to find that, after pairing a Bluetooth keyboard to my iPhone, the default emacs-lite Cocoa keybindings work there too. C-a to beginning of line, C-e to end, etc.
Sadly, Catalyst apps seem to use a different text system, which is not customizable.
I would love to hear about the customizations my fellow HN readers use.
Any idea how to fix keyboard input switching, which doesn't respect each app's language? There is an option to keep each app's text input source, but it works only when an app has a text input field focused. It's my only serious issue with macOS for 17 years now.
Iām still annoyed by the fact that you cannot remap caps lock to backspace.

I don't know what it is about it, but having came from Win32 and going to Cocoa (in 2008 or so), it just felt like an amazingly well engineered set of API's. Everything was so fancy and elegant, while Windows felt like hack on top of hack.
