I'm going to add a disclaimer: I haven't looked into the state of the Gnome world in a number of years. Perhaps things have moved closer to the pre- Gnome 3 state. But I doubt it. The day job uses Ubuntu, and a year ago I was due for a new laptop, so they shipped me a brand new one, with Ubuntu 20. I took a very, very brief look at Gnome (before installing the XFCE desktop), and it was pretty much a collection of very unique UI concepts that I remembered from the initial days of Gnome 3. I had to run a marathon sprint with my mouse to do anything; first move the mouse to one corner to open the activities page, then move the mouse to the other side of the screen to the right icon, then finally click it.Why are you using the mouse? Using the keyboard is *way* faster. :-)
Oh, and how would a user discover what those useful keyboard shortcuts are?At this point, the basic UI elements are instinctively known to everyone. Everyone knows what an icon does, how menus look like, etc…
Does a majority people really know, instinctively, what keyboard shortcuts to use in Gnome?
I am a big fan of keyboard shortcuts. I spend a lot of time in emacs.However, strangely, during my brief exposure to the latest, default Gnome desktop in Ubuntu I had no idea, whatsoever, that there were keyboard shortcuts available to me. How could I know that?
