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?
No. shortcuts are either remembered or sought after to ease the burden
of hand movement. There is no visual roadmap.
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?
