My keyboard shortcut experiment saved 6 hours in one week
Last month I got tired of clicking through Figma menus for every little thing, so I forced myself to learn 10 shortcuts a day for five days. By Friday I was flying through layers and auto-layout tweaks without touching my mouse at all, which felt weird but good. The surprise was that my vector tracing work got faster too, since I stopped breaking focus to hunt for tools. Has anyone else done a deep shortcut push and seen habits stick, or do you always slide back to old clicking ways after a few weeks?

The focus part really gets you, doesn't it? I did the same thing with keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop a while back, and the weirdest part was how much calmer my head felt at the end of the day. I stuck with it for about a month, then got lazy when a big project came in, but the main ones are still there. It's like the muscle memory never fully goes away, even when you slip back to clicking for the obscure stuff.
