Yeah, it wouldn't add to the already stressful situation if you suddenly couldn't find whatever you were looking for, not at all.
These dynamic adaptations to the GUI has always resulted in the worst UI ever. Consistency is paramount.
- swiley 8y agoAnd people wonder why some of us just like editing text config files in vim...
- nicoburns 8y agoWell vim is modal, so it's not exactly doing well in this regard!
- tjoff 8y agoI don't consider vim to be a culprit, you really can't update your key-bindings dynamically (in practice) to say more efficiently utlize the home row. It would be unusable and the UI would have no way to conway the new mappings. Vim is still consistent, you have to mentally keep track of which mode you are in but that's second nature after you've groked it. Dynamic UI changes are not and always requires you to do one extra roundtrip and scan the UI for what options are currently available and adapt to it.
