The 3 Types of Keyboard Users (Which One Are You?)

Not all keyboard users are created equal. Here are the three common types—where do you fit?

1. The Tapper

• Uses only basic shortcuts (⌘ + C, V, Z)
• Still reaches for mouse constantly
• Feels like shortcuts are “too much to memorize”

Level up tip: Try one shortcut a day with Assignee

2. The Navigator

• Uses ⌘ + Tab, Spotlight, ⌘ + `
• Starts integrating shortcut maps
• Comfortable with keyboard, but inconsistent

Level up tip: Build muscle memory with mapped app layers

3. The Controller

• Rarely uses mouse
• Navigates entire workflows via keyboard
• Uses tools like Assignee, Vim, Raycast

Level up tip: Layer shortcuts by project and context

Final Thought

No matter your type, you can improve your flow with just one new shortcut per week.

Assignee is the perfect tool to take you from Tapper to Controller—one key at a time.
