#58 People Will Look for Shortcuts Only if the Shortcuts are Easy

Speaking of being lazy, I mean efficient, we love using shortcuts to make doing the things we do easier and faster. But that's only if using the shortcut is actually easier or faster than doing it the normal old way. Otherwise, no need to fix something that's not broken and sometimes, old habits are hard to break. Having a shortcut that takes a long time to do is kind of like an oxymoron.

Command C or X to Copy or Cut

Command V for Paste

Command Z for Undo

Command S for Save
