Initial settings made to bring the feeling of using a Mac closer to that of Windows

2021/9/5

I've been a Windows user for a long time, so when I switched to a Mac, I didn't get used to different uses. Here are some initial settings that I did to make my Mac feel closer to windows, and shortcuts that are more useful to remember.

Originally, it may be easier to handle if you are accustomed to the operation method of mac.

Settings made to make the operation feel like Windows

basic configuration

This person has summarized many basic settings.

  • Make it clickable with a tap
  • Change the default operation of function keys (Fn)
  • Confirm key input with one Enter
  • View folder path in Finder

Set the scroll direction to windows for the mouse and iphone1 for the trackpad.

The scroll orientation setting is shared by the trackpad and mouse.Since it cannot be set separately, if the trackpad behaves the same as the iPhone, the scroll direction of the mouse wheel will be opposite to that of Windows.

The trackpad is the same as the iphone, and the scroll direction of the mouse requires an application called "scroll reserver" to set windows to be the same.

Apply "Google Japanese Input" to Japanese Input

"Google Japanese Input" is more accurate and easier to use for Japanese input.

Assign the Command key to the bottom left of z

The shortcut "Control + ◯" that is often used in windows corresponds to "Command + ◯" on Mac, but it is a little difficult to press in terms of position. You can use it as before by assigning the Command key to the Cap-lock key.

The original Cap-lock key is a button that allows you to enter uppercase letters continuously, and you can handle it by holding down shift (↑), as you don't use it often.

Convenient shortcut

It is impossible to remember many shortcuts suddenly, so I will use them often, so I will summarize them.

Control + Z, + X, + C, + V, etc. are the same as Window, so they are omitted.

Delete after the character (Delete in windows)fn + Delete
Close open applicationcommand + Q
Close current tabcommand + W
Specify a range and take a screenshotcommand + shift + XNUMX

Eventually, I want to be able to use the shortcut of the option key.
