I tend to work with ERP a lot.

I once offered to fix the tab order on an input form, so the cursor started in the right box. The manager of that team got very excited and asked me not to change anything, the team had got used to the keystrokes!



I've found that once a behavior is released in the wild, even a bug, people will build it into their workflows and rely on its presence. Frustrating but unavoidable.



That XKCD is hilarious! I've never seen it before:

  My control key is hard to reach, so I hold spacebar instead, 
  and I configured Emacs to interpret a rapid temperature rise 
  as "Control."
Good ol' "M-x spacebar-thermometer-mode".


That’s interesting, catering to an employee(a) over catering to the customer.
