I want apps to progressively train me in their shortcuts.
An app could track which actions I take manually, in order to learn which shortcuts are most valuable to teach me.
Immediately after I manually take a frequent action, it could inform me of the shortcut. Perhaps I can then even undo the action and redo it using the shortcut, to build muscle memory.
Once I've mastered the shortcuts for my most frequent actions, the app could move on to teaching less-frequent ones... perhaps up to some threshold.

What I dislike about editors is that there's just no default shortcut set for a lot of actions I commonly use, and I have trouble coming up with new ones that aren't already in use.
- tomsmeding 7y agoTo be fair, the fact that it's hard to come up with good, unused shortcuts for those actions is probably the reason why they don't have one yet in the first place. :)
