I think I have my keyboard memorized after 35 years of software development. The fact that you’re used to it doesn’t make it any better. Nothing is slower and more cumbersome than clicking around on a high resolution screen with a mouse.

It’s like people saying that typing with two fingers is faster because they don’t know how to use all 10. Going against them is factually wrong, unless we are talking about touch screen only devices. I use my applications like this all the time… R for straighten, C for crop, H for hand tool, CTRL + number for tooltabs… there is no difference versus only using mouse, I can keep looking at my mouse pointer and also do not need to let go of my mouse at any time.ĭecades of computer history tell you that keyboard shortcuts are still the most convenient way to use a computer (besides dedicated control panels for things like color editing).

I don’t know how you use your computer, but if you have one hand on your mouse and the other on the keyboard there is no friction? You make it sound like you use your computer with one hand and do not know where your keys are. Hot keys may be fine for occasional use, but then occasionally using one is not going to speed up my workflow significantly. The problem I see with the use of hotkeys more than just occasionally is the constant effort of taking my hand off the mouse to use a hotkey combination, then putting it back on the mouse, identifying where the mouse pointer has moved to, and moving it back to where I want it to be, I’ve created an unnecessary distraction that, if anything, slows down my workflow. a repeating manner of using ctrl alt, shift, space bar to extend control in commands of a tool is much easier to implement.But remembering is the key of fast hotkeys. Luckely there is a drop down list of the hot keys in help.īiggest issue with a extending toolbox is the ctrl+ character in a logic way is running low.Ĭtrl+G is grid ctrl+c is copy and can’t used for crop. right mouse, read text choose is much more intuitive.īut if the text has a short key/hotkey behind it it could be helping to remember and thus to use. I am forgetting the combinations all the time.
