Hackintosh

I have not used Mac OS in a while, but it seems to have many keyboard commands/shortcuts including application commands:

I don't think FGL disputes any of that. It does seem pretty clear, however, that he can't replicate the ease of use he has with Windows. It's not that he wants OS X to be identical to Windows. Rather, since he appears to use keyboard shortcuts more extensively than a casual user, it sounds like he wanted OS X to have an easy learning curve rather than having to invest considerable time and still not get what he wanted.

Any good links on building my own? I guess I could Google but I hate to find crappy links.

Exactly! I just want a system based on a certain degree of logic so it doesn't need to be "learned" by rote memorization.

...there is no consistency in how keyboard shortcuts are defined. No split at all between what affects an entire app, what affects the currently active document/tab, and what affects the overall OS.

But Apple has lots of short-cuts, and I can make macros!@!!@111

Good point and I agree. I also agree with an earlier comment that it seems that Mac users seem more inclined to use the mouse than PC users. I have never understood leaving the keyboard to use the mouse vs. using a split second 2 or even 3 stroke keyboard shortcut. Especially simple, logical commands such as copy, paste, print, save, etc.. I cringe every time my wife grabs the mouse for these commands; she refuses to use keyboard shortcuts. Oh well, each to her or his own.

Well, in my defense, I generally only have one free-hand available while using the computer.
