Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Very often they do. Many of these internal applications are from mainframe computer times when interacting with applications exclusively via the keyboard shortcuts was the norm. In most companies, they never dared to remove those because the Power Users are used to them for decades.
Problem is, few people are trained directly by those power users so they never learn those efficient shortcuts. And they are never well documented.
One of my favorite extensions is vimium. It enables vim like navigation on web browsers. If you press ? It brings up a menu showing all the key bindings, it's very helpful. Adding that and a hotkey highlighter would be a good way to document such programs. It's too bad that sort of thing isnt a priority
