Gnome is still a windows knockoff yea? Can you use readline bindings in a textfield?

Edit: I mean, usable text fields. Like you have on a mac. You hit control-a and it goes to the start of the field. The command key is for interacting with the application.

> You…ever see a screenshot of Gnome?

Let's talk usability, not bullshit. Also gnome looks like... the rest of computers. It has no usability and is indistinguishable from other windows knockoffs

We "PC" users have a dedicated key for that on our keyboard, it is called "home". We even have the opposite, a dedicated key called "end".

I am more confused than when we started, what exactly are you saying macOS is doing that nobody else is doing?

> use readline bindings in a textfield

I don’t even know what this means.
