Hey all, I just wrote a new blog post about some of the tiny design decisions we made in Whimsical Wireframes. A lot of the larger, structural choices were covered in this initial post. This one zooms into the details of how we chose where to map our shortcuts in our wireframing app to make it as fast as possible.
TL;DR When your right hand is on your mouse, you have most immediate access to the keyboard with your left hand, typically in the home position. So we mapped as many frequently-used shortcuts to that hand as possible.
