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"
@jk the only way I have found that works is to repeatedly use the shortcut instead of clicking. It means you look it up (open the menu / find the entry in a command palette), then use the shortcut to perform the function (even though that slows you down at that point!) , until you don't need to look it up anymore.
I might say I "know" shortcuts primarily as something like muscle memory, not as a fact. That part of me doesn't seem to need things to make sense.
