Designers/marketers who don't learn keyboard shortcuts, for whom the comparison is "drawing the shape with my mouth" (quick) vs. "going through upwards of a half dozen menus to pick the right shape, place it, then resize it" (slower). Even if the shape is available w/o going to any menus, drawing the entire thing with your mouth using a single cursor is going to be faster than placing and resizing a bunch of icons, switching to the arrow feature and adding the arrows in.
- karaterobot 3y agoEvery designer I know (including myself) uses keyboard shortcuts like crazy. That's why Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, and Figma all have a very robust set of keyboard shortcuts. I assume marketers are the same—anyone who uses an application every day, really.

- karaterobot 3y agoBut I'm saying I don't know any designers who don't use hotkeys, and while that's anecdotal, I can't imagine they are more than a slice of a slice of Canva's target market.
