Rant: My keyboard shortcut muscle memory completely failed me on a new client's project
I was working on a presentation in Figma for a new client who uses a different set of default shortcuts than my usual setup. I kept hitting 'K' for the pen tool, but it was set to something else, and I wasted 15 minutes just trying to draw a simple arrow. Has anyone else had to retrain their brain for a new workspace, and what's the fastest way to adapt?

Feel my pain. I once spent an hour trying to zoom because my control key was remapped. Muscle memory is a stubborn, stupid beast. You just have to brute force the new shortcuts until they stick.

My brain just adapts after a few tries.
