The shortcuts Alt+B and Alt+N are prone to accidental triggers. Since the two keys are adjacent, mis‑hits are fairly common in real‑world operations.
The core issue lies with Alt+N, which triggers "New File", and the high recovery cost after an accidental trigger: when you accidentally create a new file and close the window immediately, the blank sketch remains. Users have to navigate to the file directory and delete it manually via the right‑click menu.
In my view, the root problem is not the accidental triggering itself, but the severe consequences and high recovery overhead it brings. It generates unwanted files that require extra cleanup steps, which easily interrupts the ongoing design workflow.
Here are several proposed solutions:
- Reassign either Alt+B or Alt+N to reduce the risk of mis‑hits between adjacent keys.
- For blank documents with zero edits, do not save or generate files by default upon window closure.
- Enable custom shortcut configuration, allowing users to avoid key conflicts based on personal habits. This will also help reduce customer complaints stemming from hard‑coded shortcut assignments.
