Sorry for being off-topic, but since I’ve been attacked here…

In Mac, you can assign your own shortcuts for certain applications, so e.g. you can assign the shortcut of your choice for the Redo in Geocart.
Isn’t something like this possible in Windows, too?
Clearly you are trying to advertise or say that Mac is better by using the cool spelling - which is very bad. Reported, a second time.
Nonsense.
"macOS" is the
official name of the operating system offered by Apple. Nowadays, at least.
Before that, it has been "OS X", and before that "Mac OS X", before that "Mac OS", and before that, simply "Macintosh System Software" (mostly abbreviatet to "System").
Your "correction", namely saying "In Mac, you can...", however, is plainly wrong.
Mac is a computer. I’m not talking about hardware here, I’m talking about the operating system. If you don’t like its official spelling – well, I don’t like it, too. But it’s its name nonetheless.
When Microsoft decided to offer Windows versions called "XP" or "Vista", I used those names. I didn’t say "Windows 5" and "Windows 6" instead (or whatever the version numbers would have been if they had kept it).
And no, I’m not saying that macOS is better than Windows. I’m not even qualified to make that judgment, because as I’ve clearly said, I haven’t been working with Windows for years. The last version I worked with was Windows 7. So I simply don’t know if current Windows version are dreadful, bad, good, outstanding or whatever. Neither do I care.
So, for your information:
– I will continue to write "macOS" whenever it’s needed to talk about the operating system I’m using;
– If Microsoft ever changes the name or spelling of their OS, I’m going to use the new name/spelling, too;
– I will not discuss this any further.
