Sometimes I know where a functionality is in the interface but don't know where it is in the menus. I have to check the menus one by one looking for the functionality, and then even if I find it, I might forget where it was next time, when I'll have to look for it again (because I have to check what a shortcut is multiple times before I memorize it). Maybe it's just bad memory from ADHD, but I feel tons of friction doing it that way – and having to leave the app to open macOS settings to customize the shortcuts is also yet another layer of friction. (I do think the fact that multiple people have asked in this forum about how to customize the shortcuts shows that it is currently not clear enough for the user)
Having the reminder what the keyboard shortcut is right in front of me as I used the app via mouse made it easy for me to remember the keyboard shortcuts without even trying, and then using shortcuts instead of the mouse made me much more efficient and using the browser felt much more fluid. I really only stopped using SigmaOS because performance was bad and it felt heavy/laggy, but I got so comfortable using it so quickly. With Orion, it's hard to find out what the shortcuts are, it's hard to memorize them, I end up giving up and just using the mouse, but then using the mouse feels slow and clunky, and it just gets a bit frustrating. I guess my answer is that sometimes redundancy is good?
One keyboard shortcut I've been looking for a long time and haven't found yet is the one to un-indent a tab. In SigmaOS it was option + left arrow
. So far in Orion the only way I've found to un-indent a tab / break it out of its group is to drag and drop it elsewhere in the sidebar, carefully trying to drag it to root level rather than into another group... it's been pretty tough.
