Now I am not a stranger to keyboard shortcuts -- in fact if you look at posts like these, you might think its obvious that I have been talking abiut best practices surrounding shortcuts as they relate to languge and a they relate to keyboards off and on for years now....
So I am of two minds when I see how over on Shell Blog that they have put together a quick reference with the Shell shortcuts in the post Do things faster with Keyboard Shortcuts.
On the one hand, I have always loved the fact that the Shell doesn't stomp all over the bulk of the ALTGR keystrokes like some other nameless Microsoft products that I could mention....
But on the other hand, plenty of these shortcuts only give the Latin letters for the keystroke combinations, something that ignores the fundamental fact that there are a helluva lot of people who have other letters printed on those keys. It seemed like it would at least be worth quick note. :-(
Oh well, at least they aren't stomping on people's keyboards in the name of usability. :-)
