Things that annoy me on my Mac…
Don’t get me wrong, I love my new MacBook Pro. It’s awesome. However, like changing from any system to another, things are done differently. Some things are better, others are worse or just plain different. There are a few things that I’m finding frustrating on my Mac. Somethings here are just a matter of changing my habits, e.g. hotkeys/shortcuts, others are just how stuff works on a Mac.
Mac OS X General
- Pressing ‘tab’ on web-forms doesn’t tab to selectboxes or checkboxes or buttons. Very frustrating.
In Firefox
- Pressing Command-Left makes the browser navigate ‘back’ when my intention was moving to the beginning of the line in a WYSIWYG editor or text box.
In TextMate
- In the ‘Go to file…’ (i.e. Command+T) I can’t search folders too. E.g. I have a number of files in a project with the same name, over 50 to be exact. I want to be able to put their parent folder in too to narrow down the list. I can’t do this!

I don’t know if you’ve done this, but you can turn on full keyboard controls in your settings.

I usually do this whenever I get a new macbook.
Also for Firefox, an up arrow will got to the beginning of the line and down the end.
And if you use Firefox, I use these very mac-like themes:
