I work for an amazing software development company. Though we keep what each of us is working on diversified, we each have a few areas of expertise. My interests always seem to shine right on user interaction design and user experience. I am fascinated by the way we interact with applications and always looking to improve that interaction.
I don't claim to be any sort of expert but am always happy to share my opinions and what I have learned though experience. I am always eager to learn and open to listen.

Why don't we auto-save for users instead of having them save manually? When I work in Photoshop I work off of a copy of the original file and ctrl-s all the time. What would you do if you worked for hours on something you actually wanted to keep and then Photoshop crashed? |

Why don't we auto-save for users instead of having them save manually? @Oskar Integrity issue in what way? I would probably have the undo stack be tightly coupled to the file but not saved within it. Alternately you could go with the timeline versioning where you just roll off copies of the file along a timeline (or a diff of the file from a particular state). Either way that is implementation's problem, not UXs. |

What is the significance of the three dots “…” on menus and buttons and how to use them right? Its funny but I never even noticed these before but have used those commands many times. Low and behold, there they are in my FireFox menu. They do their job without you even realizing it. |

What is the best way to get users to discover and learn keyboard shortcuts @Simon of course you would have to be careful not to fall into the clippy world of "Can I make this more colorful for you?" "Would you like me to be more annoying?" "Can I punch you in the face?" I was thinking more along the lines of someone clicks the bold button several times, maybe give a little modeless tip (similar to Rahul's screenshot) that could provide a shortcut that they might not know. |

What is the best way to get users to discover and learn keyboard shortcuts I love the tips, that is pretty along the lines of my concept. I think making it intelligent enough that it only gave them to you when it was appropriate is key. Also, MS Excel does something with the singe key shortcuts, you just have to press the alt key first and then they map all of the visible buttons to number and letter keys. office-watch.com/articlefiles/… |

What is the best way to get users to discover and learn keyboard shortcuts Definitely. The notification could have a small button on the bottom that says, "Turn off these notifications." Also, as I said in the answer, they would have to be smart about when they showed. I know ctrl-b bolds text but sometimes I will still click the little button because its there. I wouldn't want to see that notification every time I clicked the button, just when I did it a lot where the shortcut could save me some time. |

What do you wish you had known before your first ever user evaluation workshop? Is there any more information you could provide about how to actually go about getting information without leading, or perhaps a link to an article further embellishing this point. I would be interested to read more about what exactly you mean. |

How can I distinguish two different types of buttons, without using labels everywhere? Haha you really took my messy lanes and ran with them. I also really like using the symbols in the middle to distinguish the meaning behind the colors. I think I like it with the more transparent but still distinguishable buttons. |
