listening, and Hanselminutes #125 is an interview with Saqib Shaikh, a blind developer with Microsoft Consulting Services in the UK. Without sight, Saqib is unable to use the mouse, so he must make extensive use of keyboard shortcuts. I have trouble remembering twenty, or so, shortcuts and can’t imagine what it must be like to need to remember them for almost every task. If you haven’t heard the podcast, check it out. It makes you think about the overall development experience, and you might even pick up a few new shortcuts (how many people knew that Ctrl+Shift+Esc opened the task manager?).

Shortcuts revisited
Two days ago, I posted about some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts. Coincidentally, yesterday I was catching up on my podcast listening, and Hanselminutes #125 is an interview with Saqib Shaikh, a blind developer with Microsoft Consulting Services in the UK. Without sight, Saqib is unable to use the mouse, so he must make extensive use of keyboard shortcuts. I have trouble remembering twenty, or so, shortcuts and can’t imagine what it must be like to need to remember them for almost every task. If you haven’t heard the podcast, check it out. It makes you think about the overall development experience, and you might even pick up a few new shortcuts (how many people knew that Ctrl+Shift+Esc opened the task manager?).
