Keyboard shortcuts for taxa

UPDATE:

The need is to have the most efficient shortcuts when identifying.

I think that the following would better match the need:

1) Define shortcuts for the 10.000 most often selected taxa in identifications:

  • Taxon shortcut non-editable.
  • The same for all iNatters.
  • 2 or 3 letters, in most cases.
  • Generated automatically, in most cases.
  • For instance “LM” for “Family Lamiaceae”, “DR” for “Delonix regia”.

2) For all other taxa, enable each iNatter to define shortcuts:

  • Taxon shortcut editable.
  • Only for the user connected.
  • An extra settings page could display all shortcuts defined by the user connected.
  • For instance “SPE” for “Senna pendula”, “SBI” for “Senna bicapsularis”, etc. The user choses the “best” shorcuts for his/her needs.

In all cases, the shortcut is displayed in the taxon page.
