Are all shortcuts intentional? Sometimes I find some by mistake and just think “was this intentionally created?”
In: Technology
If you mean stuff like Ctrl-X for cut, Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot, and so on – those are all intentional and it was the designers of the operating system that came up with them. There are some that are pretty old and standard across many systems, and there are others that are newer and more specific. But none of them are accidental since a computer only will do what it was programmed to do. That isn’t to say it’s impossible that pressing some weird key combo that nobody thought of might not do something interesting, but that would be a bug, not intentional.
