Ask HN: Why no standards for IDE shortcuts?

1 points by peshkatari 11y ago ↗ HN

Am i the only one who switches between Eclipse, IntelliJ, Atom, Brackets, Sublime, NetBeans ... constantly and curses the fact that all IDEs have different shortcuts for the same function. Did no one yet think about some "ISO IDE-1 Shortcuts" cause i bet its time for that?!

Congratulations, you have just hit a programming polyglot wall, introduced by replacing good editor with an IDE for very little in exchange.

You can remedy this effect by sticking to one good editor that covers most of the languages you write in. Warning: much friction ahead, as you will need to learn how to actually use all the tools that were hidden from you by IDEs.
