Keyboard shortcuts for my commonly used applications in plain text format (importable by Anki spaced repetition)

Keyboard Shortcuts

I'm lazy. If there was an Olympic competition for laziness, i would be summarily banned on suspicion of using performance enhancing drugs. I take^W, have it on my todo list, to take pride in being the laziest IT guy you ever met!

I learn the time saving keyboard shortcuts of most of my apps. To save effort i use the open source Anki spaced repetition software to drum them into my thick skull.

It works, for all apps, all the time and it takes zero effort.

How It Works

All the decks of flash cards are in this repo, in plain text. The Anki app consumes the decks in the following format:

  • 1 deck per application (= 1 file per application)
  • 1 (tab separated) line per card
  • Field 1: Question
  • Field 2: Answer
  • Field 3: Category

Anki runs on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, iOS or via their website.

Anki takes care of scheduling your study and mixing up cards from the available decks. You should read up on the theory behind Anki since I won't repeat the why's and how's of spaced repetition here; I'm too lazy ;-)
