Semi-related rant titled “Almost everything on computers is perceptually slower than it was in 1983”: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/927593460642615296

It’s about the way software is designed around having a mouse, even when it doesn’t make sense.

Computer users of the day were experts, and they were accustomed to using a CLI. Today's users are less computer savvy, and use more applications, which means they can not memorize everything. That said, I do wish more applications provided better keyboard support, like IDEs do with reconfigurable shortcuts. Keyboard macros used to be a thing too.

And today's developers are also less computer savvy.

Why when there is only one (1) input field in an application this does not get keyboard focus ? (Firefox, Teams)

I wish way more websites used the / or ctrl+k to bring up autocomplete menus like the Laravel or Tailwind websites.
