Someone (maybe a company making software development tools, e.g. @jetbrains 😉) should do research and design properly ergonomic keyboard shortcuts for code editors. It's tiring to see different and mostly "accidental" shortcuts everywhere.
You're viewing a single thread.
You can literally pick from a list of various different keyboard maps

@breadsmasher Yes, and AFAIK none of them are based on any research or actual design. The XKCD is really valid. Maybe it should be a coordinated attempt by couple popular text editors.
You can't standardise everything, but the basic most common actions could be. There is already a small subset which works across the majority of editors, ctrl/cmd+ZXCV for example.
The entire QWERTY layout as far as I remember wasn’t based on any design or research
That's wrong. Qwerty was eventually chosen by the inventor because it was the most efficient design. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/history-and-evolution-of-qwerty-keyboard
Thanks for the interesting article! But it doesn’t really specify a specific research and design. Just theories? But I would defer to the article and I am just misreading something
