> I found the keybinding situation to be a complete mess.

As in: most shortcts work the same across all apps?

> It's also incredibly hard to track down and change certain keybindings, many apps don't have any text configuration to easily modify and require you to go through their GUIs

Any action exposed in menus is handled on OS level in keyboard configuration: https://techtoro.io/blog/how-to-change-keyboard-shortcuts-on...

No, I mean keybindings that are app specific and that are _not_ exposed in the keyboard configuration menu. Case in point, iterm2. Tons of useless keybindings that you have no easy way to see and disable. Let alone the fact that the app immediately crashes every time I try to modify one.

You really assumed I haven't searched - and figured out - how to change keyboard shortcuts?

Isn't it the same issue across all operating systems then?

You wouldn't believe how many times I've ran into people who said something and it turns out they didn't do something that would fix their issues :)

Sort-of but not in my experience at least. In Linux there is a tendency of using /etc or .config files, where it's quite trivial to catch/modify anything.

Oh well, I can't say I _fixed_ my issue. My mac usage compared to my linux+i3 usage still feels like bronze age tech, but definitely I salvaged what I could :)
