Nothing prevents a Web app from having good keyboard shortcuts; Gmail and Linear are great examples.

GitHub becomes much more comfortable with the Refined GitHub extension. It adds a bunch of keyboard shortcuts, among a ton of other small improvements.

I think nothing prevents a web app from having keyboard shortcuts, but more often than not what I see is web apps having bad keyboard shortcuts that hijack the browser's natural behavior (taking over <ctrl>-f is a good example). I think often people go at this as if it's an Electron app and not a browser that has literally a hundred other interfaces loaded into it, leading the user to have certain expectations.

All that aside your Gmail example is spot on, and I'm one of those google-hatin' dudes.

Yes, the unfortunate tradition of hijacking Ctrl+F is annoying. OTOH the forming tradition to use Ctrl+K to show a command palette / command line is commendable.

The presented TUI is a full UI for simply browing Github, the Github CLI is not that.

Notice how I can list with `gh pr list` but then will need to run a full new command to actually inspect the contents of those PRs. I think an interactive interface would be nice!

I think you could probably whip something very basic and crude up with fzf and the “—-preview” flag

I'm not a github power user but check out Lazygit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit)!

Github's UI used to be usable, at least.

Not satisfied with your IDE integration? There are some github plugins for nearly every IDE I can think of.

For reviewing PRs I use Octo.nvim
