Notion was clearly made by people who do not use or understand keyboard shortcuts; you can't even properly select text without using the mouse.
It's been somewhat maddening switching from Confluence.
- randito 2y agoMy experience with Notion keyboard use is different. It's not 100% VIM hands-on-keyboard mouse-free but it's getting there. If there was only a "insert after this block" shortcut. My favorite is to type something then /turnh3 where /turn let's you turn the block into something else.
- hinkley 2y agoI’ve gotten out of the habit but I could definitely see how in a set of dependent code reviews one might want to be able to update a sequence of statuses in a matter of minutes to land a bunch of changes back to back to back, plowing through using a CLI or keyboard shortcuts.
- remram 2y agoI have the opposite complaint: you can't even reliably select text without also using the keyboard! Half the time I drag to select, it starts moving a block. Half the time I click to navigate, it starts a selection instead (as if I had not released the mouse from previous click). I need to press the Escape key and try again. Notion to me is the prime example for "too much JavaScript". Opening a note in a tab take 10 seconds and interrupts me half the time with some random news or a prompt to try some AI feature.
