Project Name: The Any Key

Team Members: Victor King Mark Stewart Michael Midgley-Biggs

Our web site will be a search engine for a user-generated database of keyboard commands. Almost every program ever made has a slew of keyboard commands, many of which are unique and unintuitive, and many of which can only be found by searching through manuals or badly designed web sites. Our project will catalog commands in a searchable database. Users of the site will be able to add shortcuts to the database, and the shortcuts will be indexed by function, program, operating system, and other tags. Having one go-to database for this will free users from having to search web sites or manuals for obscure commands, making the process much faster and easier.

This product is aimed at a very wide range of users, as there is no one type of computer user that predominantly uses keyboard commands. [|Anyone who uses the internet] is potentially a user of our site. As such, the interface will be designed to be as simple and non-technical as possible in language and appearance.
