I cannot fathom how utterly dismissive people become when faced with technology requests that don't fit their own use cases.

There are many requests in the forums for #ObsidianMD for better keyboard accessibility. I know because I'm searching for ways to improve my own experience as someone with ADHD!

Anyways, someone has linked to an article from 1989—yes, 1989—to "support" the dodgy claim that "users think keyboard shortcuts are faster, but they're not."

Yeah, every single user of keyboard-centric things like emac, vim, Pop! OS, etc is clearly delusional about their own experience. And nothing could conceivably have changed with computing, with user familiarity, etc. since 1989.

Just recognize that other people might in fact understand their lived experience & needs, that accessibility includes neurodiversity, and *gasp* that neurodiverse users might understand their own needs better than a $DEITY-forsaken article from 1989.
