Hi,

I agree (again) that the shortcuts are not well explained and we will work on it. Showing a list of all actions far away from the context in which they should be used is more of a patch than a solution though. Let us search for a better way :). Tooltips will probably be the first thing we'll try.

Cheers,

Doru

+1 on what Stef said. 

And for what it’s worth, I think that the biggest step to add usability of the spotter right now would be a simple legend at the bottom of the results. It would list the shortcut keys applicable to the current selection with a small description of what they do. It’s not sexy and exiting to implement but it will be a huge help. For example, such a legend would have eliminated all the questions and conversations on the spotter that happened this week.

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
