Apart from its stupid cursor control.įor example, the and keys on a Windows PC keyboard always – always – move the cursor to the start or end of a line. And, of course, the Mac has a wonderfully consistent user interface that’s far more logical and intuitive than anything Microsoft has so far managed. Now I’m the last person to suggest that Windows is any kind of benchmark for good interface design – in fact one of the reasons I recently switched to a Mac was the UI horror of Windows Vista and Windows 7. Its behaviour is controlled at operating system level rather than individual application level, and this consistent behaviour is a sign of good user interface design. When you press the cursor keys, modified cursor keys (with, , and so on) or and keys on a Windows PC, the on-screen cursor reacts in a consistent way when it’s in a block of text, no matter what application you’re using.
