ShortcutSage
Gamified keyboard-shortcut fluency trainer for the creative apps you actually live in, so editors stop wasting seconds hunting through menus.
Video editors, motion designers, and photo retouchers who live in Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci, Figma, or Photoshop
- Daily 90-second drills scoped to your active app with shortcuts you personally haven't used this week
- 'Boss fight' rounds that simulate real client-edit pressure (tighten this 30-sec cut by Friday)
- App-aware leaderboard so you're competing with other Premiere editors, not coders
- Weekly shortcut drop reflecting the latest software updates so muscle memory stays current
HaxxorWPM trending on HN shows that power users want measurable keyboard fluency — but creative pros have no equivalent and still grind through menus.
HaxxorWPM and DevWPM validate power-user appetite for fluency tools, but the HN post actually scored 40 points (not 77) and the creative-pros segment is a smaller niche than developers.Typing Speed Test, but for Developers | Hacker News ↗HaxxorWPM - daily.dev ↗
QuicKey.io is a direct competitor already offering gamified shortcut training for Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Audition, and DaVinci Resolve — the premise that creative pros have 'no equivalent' is false; only Figma appears unclaimed.QuicKey | Master Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe & DaVinci Resolve ↗
QuicKey appears free and adjacent products (cheat sheets, DevWPM) default to free or ad-supported; no evidence found of users paying subscription for shortcut training specifically.QuicKey | Master Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe & DaVinci Resolve ↗DaVinci Resolve Keyboard Shortcuts — Complete Cheat Sheet (Resolve 21) ↗
Creative apps ship new shortcuts with each major version, creating recurring maintenance, but reference docs already saturate the space — sustainable but not exceptional.
QuicKey proves the concept is buildable; main work is curating shortcut sets per app version and wiring up game/quiz mechanics — proven tractable.QuicKey | Master Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe & DaVinci Resolve ↗
