I’m currently trying the new UI, but find it slower to work with than the old one. It has many things hidden behind menus now, which makes the UI prettier but less effective.

Yeah I totally understand that. I do have to give them credit though because everything is still technically "reachable with the same steps". For example, I was reading a help article which went like go to "X > Y > Z" menu. And in the new UI it was surprisingly exactly the same way to get there as in the old one.

  Redesigns will always be controversial, especially with tech-people. Personally, I quite enjoy the redesign.

Use keyboard shortcuts and then search for the command: I use these a lot: - search everywhere, code actions, etc.: double shift - find action: Cmd shift a, or ctrl shift a I hope that it still works in the new ui, didn’t test it yet.

  > double shift Who the hell decided that it's a good combination for a shortcut? I just press it occasionally.

    You can change it. I assign to ctrl+shift+p like vscode

    I think it's easier to press than anything more conventional (and also super-easy to remember). This fast and smart jumping around function is one of the biggest things I miss when I use Emacs — and the shortcut is an important part of the experience. > I just press it occasionally. Wouldn't that be a big problem only if it was something more destructive than a search popup? P.S. But I may have a weird perspective on shortcuts: the one I have sweared about pressing accidentally more than once is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. For the unfamiliar: it's an emergency way to kill the X server (=> the entire graphical user session), nowadays usually disabled by default.
