Keyboard layouts fail to support different tasks
Office work, creative work and specialist tasks require different keys and shortcuts.
Three-step solution method
- Observe input sequences and shortcut frequency across different tasks.
- Distinguish shared layouts from configurable keys and map them to tasks.
- Have users compare typing and key-finding across identical work tasks.
Key Deliverables
- Task Key Map
- Layout Prototype
- Mapping Guide
Verification Approach
Record key-finding, input errors and understanding of configuration.
