Talk:Usability for Nerds/Software/Internationalization

I agree on shortcuts, it is annoying when the software "translates" it depending on the layout (character mapping, not keys positions). It should be position-dependent regardless of the layout, mostly (unless the combinations are somehow preferred in that layout, i.e. reserved). Adobe still has such problem, and it is very annoying. One more thing - where that "new generation" thing comes from ? Your cultural literature attempts ? I suppose you realize very well that they are not so shining as your technical papers, to put it lightly. From what I see, there is no such, there are users from many generations, which are accustomed to Internet benefits, both local and global, and it does not make them more smart - they are still unable to differentiate between lies and truth, think deeper about the nature of things and so on. For most of them, using a microwave in previous generation is the same as using smartphones in this generation - they learn to press buttons, and usually no more than that.
