I worked on Microsoft’s Windows QA team long ago. My team used to have “No-mouse Tuesdays”: you were supposed to do all your normal work but only using the keyboard.
- kulahan 19d agoWhat I wouldn't give to work for a company that actually cares about QA.
- wolvoleo 19d agoWhich is not Microsoft. Maybe back in that day but today no. It's more Quality Assumption now :)
- mghackerlady 18d agoEven back in the day they were bad. Things generally worked but were rarely pleasant

- BobbyTables2 19d agoI assume MouseKeys was cheating ?
- cpeterso 19d agoSend fair to me: someone’s got to test Mouse Keys! :)
- high_priest 19d agoI guess that team was dismantled some time ago, with no on carrying the flag anymore. Modern windows is impossible to work on using just keyboard. Some mods & extensions do help. But the native experience is abysmal.
- wolvoleo 19d agoYes and especially the new web-driven apps are terrible at it.
- djaro 19d agoMy touchpad doesn't work anymore. Why is it so difficult to connect a bluetooth mouse without a mouse? The "mouse detected, want to connect?" notification shows up ON THE SCREEN but I need to enter a bunch of shortcuts and navigate through multiple items just to be able to click yes.
- ack_complete 19d agoThe keyboard support in "Modern" Windows apps is so random. In the new Notepad, the dialog that appears asking if you want to create a new files shows Yes and No buttons, but it doesn't accept Y and N keys, only Esc and Enter. However, the dialog that appears when exiting without saving does accept S and N for Save and Don't Save. These inconsistencies are everywhere in UWP.
