🤮 command instead of control
Did you just navigate to our homepage by typing our company name into Google and clicking the top sponsored result instead of simply typing “.com” at the end of your query???
Oh no, I’ve seen worse. SO MANY TIMES. My students have typed out “student.desmos.com” into the address bar and then CLICKED THE GOOGLE SEARCH INSTEAD OF JUST HITTING ENTER and go to the WRONG PAGE.
When I was tech support at a middle school campus, I used to see teachers type “[school district abbreviation] portal” and then start clicking on Google results until they got to the right one. SOME OF THEM EVEN TRIED TYPING THEIR USERNAME AND PASSWORD INTO UNFAMILIAR FIELDS
yeah, I feel extremely sorry for education IT. Idk how anyone does it.
Mostly complacency
I assume this is in person. Over screen sharing, or a tutorial video, right-click copy would actually be preferable so the audience can see what’s happening.
I sometimes use the commands in the ribbon on my work PC, but that’s only because my work PC is so fucking slow that it’s the only way I can know for sure it actually worked.
I saw someone drag select an entire folder of 180 files instead of pressing control A yesterday
Command c instead of yy (or whichever command starting in y that is appropriate for your copying situation)?
