Have you ever wondered if your keyboard shortcuts are set up optimally? Well, I did, so I decided to visualize it with a heat-map.

It proved to me that I rely on my left pinky too much, so I'll try to rework my shortcuts.

You can check out the project here, currently it only works on Linux.

That seems pretty misleading...

Why? The purpose of this project was for me to see which keys I press more often so I know which fingers get stressed, and it exactly what the project does

From the title, it sounds like something that any keyboard shortcut enthusiast would be able to extrapolate to their own shortcuts. But if yours are custom, then it's more like a fun fact about yourself.

Fair enough. I've only created a visualization tool, I haven't gathered statistics.
