Why are we regressing on user interface usability instead of getting better?
Here is the first run setup wizard on a @Raspberry_Pi 400. There is a select box to choose your country. It has pre-selected the United States (for some reason). I want to choose Australia. Typing 'a' to jump to the top does nothing, I have to scroll-scroll-scroll to get there. 1/2
Attached is a screenshot of Macintosh System 5.0 released in 1987 (36 years ago). It had an interactive world map to let you set the time zone.
Later they replaced it with a simple list. The second image is System 7 from 1994 (29 years ago). You could type to jump within the list. And not just one character, you could type several characters and it would keep refining the match. 2/2 #ux
