- vegabook 11y agoShortcuts are good but not good enough, though. They're a single dimensional layer on top of what is, in the whole Creative Suite, a workflow that has elements of hierarchy, repetition, feature identification, conditional selection, and many fine-grained adjustments on multiple dimensions. A well designed command grammar can map to all of these usage patterns much better than the flat superposition of shortcuts. And btw the command line and the point/click pattern are not mutually exclusive. Adobe of course was intimately involved at the very birth of the GUI, so I'm not expecting it to change its culture anytime soon, but that's probably a lost opportunity. Its products are some of the most complex around and would benefit the most.
