I’ve been hunting around for a text editor to adopt after beginning to feel like I might be short-changing myself by relying solely on Notepad.
I heard Zeus being recommended and gave it a go. I lasted long enough to open it , type something, hit CTRL+Z and realise that this wasn’t the default short-cut for undo. This is a Windows text editor. Maybe it matches the default for Vi or another popular Unix app but my instinct was that if it doesn’t match common conventions for undo then I wasn’t going to be getting on with this software.
This reminds me that I wanted to write about the idea that testing has proved that shortcut keys do not save the user any time. I’ll dig out the reference as I think it’s a load of twaddle and easily refuted.
