The only skill that I have retained from my programming background is how to handle a computer correctly. I'd rather rip my own eye out of my head than take out the flash drive without disconnecting it. I directly experience physical pain when someone just yanks it out.

It is also hard for me to watch when this despicable someone does not use all the richness of the system interface functions. For example, he treats windows like pieces of paper on a desk: he moves them aside to unearth what is needed.

There is also switching between tasks - alt + tab! These would-be users arrange a trash heap from their desktop, although there are convenient folders: "Documents", "Photos", "Videos". It would seem, put there especially for you, you idiot, they were conceived. If you don’t want to go there, create a folder “Junk” or “Files I don’t know in which folder to put” and put it there. No! They bring everything to the desktop.

There are great keyboard shortcuts ctrl + c and ctrl + v, not to mention ctrl + x, for copypast. But no, it seems like a smart modern person sits and crawls into the menu with the mouse to select "copy" and "paste" there. I want to break off his hands. You say to him: “What are you doing, you bastard! Here are the commands for you, for your own convenience! Look how fast! " He's like, “Yes, really! Show it again ... ”You show it, he nods, clucks his tongue - that's, they say, really, how convenient it is. And then lo and behold - again crawls with the mouse. Evil is not enough.

The most necessary hotkeys for copy-paste (Copypaste).

The brightest minds of mankind turn their brains inside out, end up in clinics of neuroses in order to facilitate the work of ordinary users. And these so-called users are lazy to spend five minutes to master these functions and save several days of their lives on the way out. Retrogrades! People like them, just in case, burned scientists at the stake, fought against potatoes and electricity, banned genetics, the atomic bomb and cloning. If there are more of them, humanity will plunge into the abyss of primitive obscurantism. The decline of civilization begins with the reluctance to press alt + tab, I'm sure of that.

I give a detailed layout of hot keys on the keyboard

Good afternoon! I decided to write this post not so much for the readers as to remember for myself))

The average user uses the mouse, performing 98% of the operations. Advanced user - fifty / fifty. Because if let's start translating a Theme or a Plugin, in more than two thousand lines, then just the hand will become a wedge from the mouse. Discovering PHP file notepad ++ has long lines, and this is especially observed in JS (Java scripts). Underlining, that is, outlining such a line, the hand moves out of the line and the entire document jumps, it's called - you'll catch figs. Here you simply cannot do without knowledge of key combinations. And you will save time and work more conveniently.
