Well it depends on how often you use it. There are a handful of shortcuts I use... Once every other week? It certainly takes me a second or two to remember exactly how to do it. Even if I've used them on and off for years.
Sure ctrl z everyones got down. But what about alt k to kill that one process in that one program you have to keep fixing for that one client?

- smoe 5y agoSure, but one of my most commonly used keyboard short cuts is the one that pops up a fuzzy search over all the available actions/settings. Whereas with the mouse i have to dig trough a ton of sub menus and often even have to google to find what I want.

- okamiueru 5y agoPretty much everything you do often enough will be automated away from conscious thought. It ends up in a weird situation where if someone asks what the keyboard binding for, say, inserting a row into a org-mode table, I wouldn't be able to answer. Something with maybe a c in it, and a '-', not sure? Yet, once in the situation that needs it, the fingers move by themselves. Also related, musicians don't spend two seconds figuring out how to play a note.
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoMusicians also regularly play all the notes on their instrument. There are many once/week tasks that you’ll spend more time trying to remember the shortcut you used last week than just grabbing the rodent.
