   i'm jealous of people who are able to remember things that don't make sense. i don't think i can tell the difference between "learning something" and "making sense of something". like today i'm trying to proactively learn some keyboard shortcuts for some software i'm trying out, and there's no rhyme or reason to any of them. no sense can be made, no pattern matching is possible, not even "shift does the opposite" or "the first letter of the thing you want to do"

     like. when i want to quickly open the foo panel editor widget menu, am i supposed to quickly recite an entire mnemonic song under my breath until i get to the lines "if the panel of foo is needed by you, you can get there with Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F2, but don't press Ctrl-Shift-F2 or Alt-Shift-F2, because if you do, you'll be in a stew"
