When looking at the shortcut list the only modifier key which is obvious to me is the "Ctrl" key.
Symbols which I can't find on my keyboard:
⌘ I know this is a mac symbol, but i'm running a pc like majority of elementary users. I don't know what key it represents.
⎇ Maybe this is "alt"? could be easily mistaken for a "shift" as both have an arrow going upwards
Other symbols which exist on my keyboard but still confuse me because I have not seen them used before in text:
↹ I couldn't figure this out without looking at the keyboard
⇧ This is probably the easiest to figure out, but still a bit weird to see it as a symbol
Proposed solutions for this usability problem:
a) Replace symbols with textual versions (like "alt", "shift", "tab", etc)
b) Show a legend in all the shortcut views which tells what the symbols mean
I'd personally like (a) as there is no ambiguity. |
