- mrgreenfur 14y agooh, that makes it much better. I only have a handful of repos and a few collaborators, so I don't really spend tons of time on GH. I imagine you spend more time than me to be excited by it -- what are you doing on there?
- nja 14y agoWell, I can't speak for burke, but I use GitHub Enterprise at work. Once this trickles down to GH:E, I'll probably use it very regularly.
- burke 14y agoI'm a developer at Shopify, and all of our development happens on Github. I also spend a fair bit of time working with issues on open source projects.
- Newky 14y agoThis is the killer feature of this, I am programmed for keyboard shortcuts, its why I'm productive in Vim, its why I use Gnome-do for launching, and its why I feel the web browser is my only real need for a mouse (Vimperator and the like don't seem to do it for me) Once I hardwire a combination into my head, anything else feels slow and laboured to the point that I hate using it, and often I am found trying to use shortcut keys when a simple mouse touch would work better. Some people are predominantly mouse people, and if they are productive doing this, this is of course ok, but a feature like this would be an added boon in my opinion for any website.
- jswanson 14y agoThanks for the 's' tip. Too bad they didn't also use '/', like gmail and atlassian products.
- mooism2 14y agoA downside of using '/' is that it is already used in Firefox to mean search-in-page.
