rhaen<p>So, I like macOS- I really do. I switched to macOS - at that time System 7 in somewhere around 1994(?) and I never looked back. I highly appreciate the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> alike movement. If you are in an entry field ctrl-a (C a) always takes you to the beginning, ctrl-e (C e) to the end. So nice. I always fall for this trap on Windows But here is something that never happend to me - and I just discovered it (might be late to the party). My emacs wasn't accepting ctrl-space any longer. Oh, well - I mean hey - it's something fundamental to mark something.</p><p>And now - I discovered by C-h k C-SPC that nothing arrived at emacs. It's a hotkey for switching inputs......</p><p>macOS → System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts… → Input Sources</p><p>WTF! <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macos</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/youmustbekiddingme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>youmustbekiddingme</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/srsly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>srsly</span></a></p>
