Every modifier key starts simple and humble, with a specific task and a nice matching name.

This never lasts. The tasks become larger and more convoluted, and the labels grow obsolete. Shift no longer shifts a carriage, Control doesnt send control codes, Alt isnt for alternate nerdy terminal functions.

Fn is the newest popular modifier key, and it feels were speedrunning it through all the challenges without having learned any of the lessons.

This many modifier keys doesn’t seem like the Apple I once knew.
