Add keyboard shortcuts
What turns a tool into something people are fast in.
Add keyboard shortcuts to <describe the app>. The most common actions are: <list them> - Follow conventions people already know. Don't reassign Ctrl+S, Ctrl+F or Escape to something surprising. - Never fire while the user is typing in an input, unless it's a modifier combination. - A discoverable list — "?" opens a shortcuts panel — and hints on the buttons themselves. - Escape closes whatever is open, always. - Work on both platforms: Cmd on Mac, Ctrl elsewhere. Then tell me which of my actions genuinely deserve a shortcut and which would just be clutter.
The single-key shortcut firing while someone types their name into a form is the classic bug. Check the focused element before acting, every time.
