Oh, and how would a user discover what those useful keyboard shortcuts
are?
No. shortcuts are either remembered or sought after to ease the burden
of hand movement. There is no visual roadmap.
At this point, the basic UI elements are instinctively known to
everyone. Everyone knows what an icon does, how menus look like, etc…
Does a majority people really know, instinctively, what keyboard
shortcuts to use in Gnome?
I am a big fan of keyboard shortcuts. I spend a lot of time in emacs.
However, strangely, during my brief exposure to the latest, default
Gnome desktop in Ubuntu I had no idea, whatsoever, that there were
keyboard shortcuts available to me. How could I know that?
