Ask HN: How to get rid of the bad habit of using CTRL and S
While coding, I use this combination almost every time I make several changes. Are there any good remedies to get rid of this obsolete habit?
- uberman 3y agoWhy do you feel it is a bad habit? Is it because your editor persists recent unsaved changes itself? I manually save almost anytime I do even a minor context change.
- pacifika 3y agoAssign the shortcut to beep or some intricate modal
- lofaszvanitt 3y agoDon't let good habits die out.
- navjack27 3y agoHave control plus s hard power off your computer every time you hit it
- seamac3 3y agoI feel CTRL S is one of the best computing work habits you could have, even if there is an autosave.
- eternityforest 3y agoI don't really think it's that obsolete, it's not like it's a lot of cou time or disk wear. The auto save is really good these days in some apps, so I see the point of stopping, but it's also not that great in others. A bigger issue is accidentally doing it in a web browser. Since when is saving a web page so frequent it needs a shortcut? Savings pages barely works at all on some sites!
