There are few technics to learn new keyboard shortcuts:
- Disconnect Mouse – It will also help you to check the accessibility of your application.
- Stick notes! – In the past, I had my computer covered with stick notes with most essential shortcuts for apps I wasn’t using regularly.
- Print Cheatsheet and put it under keyboard – it will be easily accessible, the downside is Coffee stains and doodles you will write on it.
- Flash Cards! – Yes, they are mostly used for learning words and terms! That is why I have muscle memory challenge for you. Instead of saying or thinking the answer, press it on the keyboard!
- One combination a day! – select something in the morning and try to use it for the whole day!
That all! I don’t know any more ways to learn shortcuts! What about you? Do you have other methods for learning shortcuts? I will gladly hear them.
