It is one thing to one-time relearn something, it is another thing to
constantly have to switch between two different muscle memory modes when
switching between Haiku and Linux/Windows. I think we should appreciate the
fact that most Haiku users don't use Haiku exclusively and avoid making
their life harder. I'm not saying that a Linux/Windows compatible mode
should be the default (though one could argue that if the majority prefers
a certain setting, it should be the default), but there should at least be
a very simple (not just possible) way to switch to a Windows/Linux
compatible mode.
For the same reason I'd suggest an optional Linux compatible mode in
Terminal.
CU, Ingo
