so question if someone from Linear is reading these, which I assume they are:

The site says shortcuts for everything. That's nice. But one of my biggest gripes is accidental actions with no indication on what you just did. If I have the app open in one window and don't realize I have focus and just start typing will it just start doing actions? Is there a way to disable these? Clickup does this to me a lot and its super annoying.



Reddit does this, annoyingly after typing Ctrl-F. I have to wait a short while until the browser's search bar pops up at the bottom, otherwise my instinct to immediately start typing the search phrase causes all sorts of actions, like following some people, hiding a thread, who knows what random stuff happens on each key press.


We implement undo through Cmd+z


That's a fix but doesn't give you the feedback about what you just did.
