Careful. They'll be too good in keyboard and they might hate you when they see you while scrolling the mouse.

do you do all of your coding on a piece of paper, too?

I had a coworker who did that.
Personally I can't be bothered with remembering all those shortcut keys that are different on someone else's computer anyway.
So anyway, this guy keeps nagging about shortcuts, it would give me hours of productivity.
And then he spent literally ten minutes looking up some obscure shortcut key for a functionality I've never used since...

ctrl+ x/c/v at the least should be standard use.
The impatient of seeing someone using either toolbar or context-menu is unbarable
at some point, some people i just tell them ctrl+c instead of copy in the hope they use that.
same with SQL * - i just say 'all' not 'star' - it more meaningful as to what is wanted instead of the specifce characters I want someone to type.

Right! I've seen this guy use the file menu to select Edit > Copy. On his own time, I don't care what he does, but when I'm helping answer a question, value my time as well.

Just switched from Visual Studio (C#) to Intellij (Java). Shortcuts are only slightly different which makes things worse!

Heh, nobody at work likes to use my machine because of the way I've remapped the shortcuts. I started my computer career back in the 70's. The word processor of choice back then (on CP/M atleast) was WordStar. The shortcuts for cursor movement, copying and such are pretty much ingrained in my brain. So to continue using them I remap the cap locks as the control key, the control key as the alt key and the alt key as the cap locks (use ZiffDavis utility called TradeKeys). I then have an AutoHotKey script that basically lets me use the Wordstar shortcuts in jEdit, Visual Studio, Word, Codecomposer Studio, Eclipse, etc. Basically, any place I'm going to be editing text.

That is awesome! I didn't start my career till 2000, but I still feel old school compared to many of my peers.

The most efficient methods would be important if you're just keying thousands of lines of code, but the average programmer writes 50 lines of code per day. It sounds like what you're really saying is, "how dare people be different from me".

There is a difference between knowing every shortcut for every program, and knowing the basics. In this case Cut/Copy/Paste would be nice. Plus, we're in IT. Its our job to know how to use computers. Learning shortcuts for the programs you use every day demonstrates a passion for your work.

So, I clear some form data just before populating it with updated values (from a new search). What happens? The form shows the new data, then clears! I have to put a freaking timeout in the javascript because it appears that jqWidgets is updating its controls on a separate thread. The plain vanilla HTML controls clear/update just fine.
That and the fact that it really isn't very mobile device friendly. I get all sorts of weird behaviors on different mobile device browsers.
There's something to be said for plain-ol' HTML with jQuery and not much else.
Lesson learned.

I've also had to reprogram a couple of their controls. But I decided this is far better than designing my own controls. The odd thing is one of the reasons I had to do the re-programming on one control is because it didn't work properly in their own container controls!
But I give them credit, because they do have the best documentation I have ever seen.

That is true. And I get replies on their forums within 24 hours.
