She's lost control

[venta]

There is something wrong with the world. In my day-job, I regularly use two different IDEs: Visual Studio and Eclipse. Because I'm like that, I have Eclipse set up to use Emacs as its text editor.

So, I'm regularly switching between environments with different key-bindings. In one IDE, I can sort out the indentation on code by hitting Ctrl-I. In the other, it's Ctrl-K Ctrl-F.

Here's the weird bit: Ctrl-K Ctrl-F is Visual Studio.

To anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, the correct response is "wow, that's quite surprising, you'd expect it to be the other way round". If you want to make a more oblique comment, you could say http://xkcd.com/378/.

Ctrl-K insterts a hyperlink in some software (Freemind, OneNote, Word). Confusingly Cmd-K on a Mac connects to a server.

I sometimes hit the Windows key or Alt instead of Ctrl while my brain tries to adjust to windows first thing. A bit like trying to change gear by winding the window down when driving on the continent.
