This is equivocating. It’s not better for purely historical reasons, it’s just a bad trade of speed for accuracy. If you really want to be sure, is one return click enough? Maybe it should be two. Maybe a mouse click. You could throw in a five second cool down to be really sure. Obviously some of these ideas are worse than the status quo.
- shadowgovt 3y agoI don't dispute that two or more clicks or a mouse press would be a bad trade-off of speed for accuracy. Why is one press of the enter key a bad trade-off of speed and accuracy besides "It's never been that way before?"
- travisjungroth 3y agoThese are high speed actions and usually all home-row. The return hit increases the time a significant percentage. They’re also easily undone, so the cost of mistakes is low. Imagine needing to hit return every time you ctrl-v. Really no point when ctrl-z is available.
- shadowgovt 3y agoWell the good news is it should be straightforward to customize the old behavior back for people who don't like the trade-off.
- travisjungroth 3y agoIt should be, but the change didn’t have it as a setting.
