Just make the computer use the control sequences/shortcuts you want.
I'm an old fart and I have the WordStar shortcuts/control sequences embedded in my brain. So for a couple of decades I only used editors that were configurable enough to continue to use the WordStar sequences. I also remapped the keyboard after IBM changed the control key location (to put it back to where it belonged). Now a days I just use AutoHotKey to let every editor/word processor I use, use the WordStar controls. Word, Code Composer Studio, Visual Studio, NotePad++, jEdit, etc. They all use the WordStar sequences when my AutoHotKey script is active.

What drives me crazy is that Ctrl+Z for UNDO has a perfectly logical Shift+Ctrl+Z for REDO. Why doesn't everything - what is this stupid Ctrl+Y for, half-way across the keyboard?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Speaking of OLD software shortcuts you had to learn and use, I still remember the WordStar shortcuts to mnark a block of text:
You had to use Ctrl+KB to mark the "blocK Beggining",
then Ctrl+KK to mark the blocK end(K?),
finally Ctrl+KC for blocK Copying.
Oh! the good days of word processors in DOS!

Android Studio's "Visual Studio" emulation has always thrown me for a loop. I've used Visual Studio 6 throw 2017 and still don't know which version it "emulates".

Not out of place but just plain mia on windows, multiple copy and paste buffers
"ayy
"byy
It used to be so easy to edit multiple files in unix and paste in sets of changes rather than just work backwards and forwards
ok, so I am mixing operating systems but I have been windows based for 15 or more years and I still miss this functionality
There are always third party utilities but I prefer to keep the use of these to a minimum and it should just be baked in
and breathe...

You know what drives me mad? When I try to use Ctrl+Y to redo and it deletes a line. Not only do I lose that line but I lose all the code that I've just undone with Ctrl+Z. I've changed the key mapping on my computer but I was helping a friend with his code the other day and managed to delete a load of it

Why did they shift the single step in VS from F5 to F11? Is that some plot by left handers?

Damnit! Even that makes me instinctively want to reply, "And also with you."

Been a while has it? - that response changed years ago.

Three. The left ear, the right ear, and the final front-ear!

Always wanted to learn that - something to Chekov my bucket list if I do!

Actually I think that you should pursue this - it should be an interesting enterprise.

Sorry... I confused "yar yar" with "jar jar"[^]
It was related to the puns mixing star wars

Oh great. You just had to go there, didn't you? Have you ever seen the unbridled carnage at a convention that included both Star Trek and Star Wars fans? One side slings crap about Spock's Brain, the other about Jar Jar Binks, and it goes downhill from there.
