Keyboard shortcuts "text" vs "icons"

Hi,

I would like to start a discussion about the keyboard shortcuts.

As an editor for more than 20 years I am a little bit disorientated to look at the amount

of text that is coming up when I enter the Keyboardshortcuts.

Why arn´t we using the same "name convention" in the software itself?

Why are we working with symbols, when the keyboard does not show these symbols?

What are symbols good for?

Are we editing Text like a copywriter?

Why do Textprogramms also work with symbols?

And WHY can´t I choose between text and symbols?

Its very hard to tell what it what? And even harder to remember.

What about color?

Why do we use "RED" Light for a traffic light to stop people from dying?

I would love to have more symbols and more color!

Say "Yes" to symbols () and say "YES" to color.

What about "you" .

Is there a secret that you keep for yourself?

How do you remember those great "text shortcuts"

Maybe it´s because I am old?

But in the end everybody gets older. And maybe , they need glasses.

So maybe in a few years we have a setup for "elderly editors"

I am curious about your opinion?

kind regards Peter Lund
