Personally I tried to conform to using the double-sequence-shortcuts but could never get over the cumbersome feel of it, to the point where in Nautlius I actually stopped using shortcuts and reverted to using context menus.
I guess lovers of the double-sequence-shortcuts are now in that boat. I'm not sure there was much discussion around Calypso using single-key-shortcuts. But I'm personally very happy with this behaviour change introduced by Nautlius was reverted. I'm glad to using shortcuts in the System Browser again.
For my part I'm not because before I could delete/rename/add a package/class/protocol/method without the mouse
Yes, but it was not working properly nor everywhere.
but now it became much harder with simple key shortcut since it works only on the focused pane.
Now in calypso you have cmd+/ who will show you an spotter with all options. You can then select the command you look for. I do not use mouse when using calypso thanks to this addition. In general, while it requires some time to get used to it (and some options needs renames, etc. to make a better experience) is a lot more powerful than shortcuts (because letâs be realistic there will be always more options than shortcuts available), and makes commands easier to find/learn. Another thing is that we still need to find which commands deserve a shortcut anyway :)
But I guess this kind of things depend on everyone.
Maybe it could be good to be able to customize it via settings.
I donât understand anyway why keyboard shortcuts are dependent on a tool. Shouldnât there be an abstraction mapping between action and shortcut?
Because tools as most of the system was badly designed, without a central vision and without and it evolved (mutated?) without any control. This is changing, but as always iterative development means we cannot just throw everything and start over (something I dream to do, but this will also bring new problems so⦠:P) Cheers, Esteban
