Comment on Designing a coherent set of keyboard shortcutsparent

The first step of consistency is determining and agreeing on what you want the computer to do. I don't see this happening, and it kind of removes the point of having multiple DEs, etc, for experimentation. Though perhaps after investigating in this direction, one might understand how users want to interact with the system key bindings, if at all, and be able to break down user interaction into digestible chunks.

Everyone has heard (or... most people) about a lot of the clever Apple shortcuts, but they are intensely not discoverable. People still need to go out of their way to learn them. It's just it's Apple, so no one cares.
