David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Fable 5 1ae83f1606 Add a switchers chapter and fix drift found on a second manual pass
Add "Coming From Mac or Windows" as chapter 3: a translation layer for
Cmd/Win instincts rather than a feature tour.

Fill the remaining coverage gaps: fcitx5 input methods, laptop speaker
tuning, touchpad haptics, crash capture in the toggle table, the
installable font list, and the ChatGPT Desktop and Grok Bot entries.

Correct claims that drifted from the source: the network and bluetooth
bar icons no longer launch nmtui/bluetoothctl, monitor scaling steps
rather than cycles, and the display widget's scroll steps brightness.

Unified Clipboard & History

Usually on Linux, you need Ctrl + Shift + C/V to copy'n'paste in the terminal and Ctrl + C/V to do it everywhere else. That's hard to get used to for anyone who hasn't been born and bred on Linux! So too is the switch from super to ctrl, if you're coming from the Mac.

Omarchy tackles both problems with unified clipboard hotkeys that work (almost) everywhere. They are:

Hotkey Command
Super + C Copy
Super + X Cut
Super + V Paste
Super + Ctrl + V Clipboard history

Note that most agent harnesses will use Ctrl + V for pasting images, but Super + V for pasting text.

Clipboard history

The clipboard history is provided by the Omarchy shell and works for both text and images. You trigger it by Super + Ctrl + V, select your entry with return, and then that'll be placed on the clipboard ready to paste on Super + V.

You can also search the history just by starting to type:
