Summary
The blog post discusses the inefficiencies of the 'Save' function in web applications, particularly in the context of the CSS editor in Buttondown. It highlights that the current behavior, which ignores the ⌘S command when there is nothing to save, can be frustrating for users who rely on motor memory. The author proposes that the command should ideally be deterministic and not fall back to the browser's handling, as users often press ⌘S automatically and mindlessly. It concludes by suggesting that more examples of 'finger logic' in UI design will be explored in future posts.
