I think the point of UIs is to make documentation superfluous. If I have to read about that key in the docs, the UI has failed.
- lloeki 15y agoThe UI should tell it. For example the right-click menu, which shows possible actions, could tell you which one is called when modifier+clicking. Or maybe under the popover of the name of the app it oculd say "ctrl+click to open a new window".
- lubutu 15y agoCtrl is a modifier key. You'd really prefer not to have Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, etc? Each to their own, I suppose.
- Tichy 15y agoDoes Ctrl-C and so on not work in Gnome 3 anymore? Maybe I misunderstood what the OP was trying to say. I thought he meant a key that changes the menus. Also Ctrl-C and so on are only keyboard shortcuts. Most "normal" people probably don't know about them.
