Hi Stef, I think we are misunderstanding our terms :) Let's take an example: When you have the default Spotter, don't you feel like clicking on the triangle that goes outside of the normal bounds of the window? And once you do that, does that not teach you about a new functionality without any manual? It did so with all people I tried it on. That is what I mean by having visual representations for actions. Ideally, everything that is possible should also have a visible aspect to it that should guide as a teacher. Right now, we do not do a good job at teaching shortcuts, and this will be improved.

Hi,
Yes. As Alex said, we want all actions to have a visual representation. This is on our todo list.
The question is why should we learn a visual representation presenting "cmd"-> is more effective (there are plenty of research paper on UI learnability) that a triangle.

As for configurability, there is no grand plan at the moment. We could indeed expose shortcuts as settings.
Cheers, Doru

Maybe I'm not getting it but, Why not just using "Right"?
Ha ha ha, I was thinking the same thing! But it seems obvious now. I think discoverability + "mouse click on the 5/26 line" (with maybe some kind of icon inviting a click) would help a lot.
Regarding shortcuts in general, what is the status of the dream we had when we starting investigating keymapping and friends years ago - "let users totally customize shortcuts"? While it's good to have a reasonable default, no hardcoded solution will make everyone happy...
