    even when using keyboard shortcuts having it in the middle is just an additional adjustment from what it used to be.

    How? It’s closer to where your mouse will be, and to where your eyes naturally gravitate.

    An OS should get out of my way and let me do what I do.

    Yeah. Windows moved from that path a long time ago.

      It’s an easier click target when it’s in the corner. Moving cursor from the middle to the corner is negligible for me since I can reach the whole screen with relatively minor mouse movement.

      In the end it’s a muscle memory thing for me. Having the button in the middle just means I have to look for it in a different location than I’ve used to over the years.

        Yeah that’s why I said corner is superior if you open it with a mouse, and centre is superior for if you do it with your keyboard.

          I wouldn’t consider it superior, just different, in case of a keyboard shortcut.
