🔗 Unsung: Fingers don’t look around:
You might press ⌘S twice in a row. Or after an undo to an already saved state. […] Or after just sitting down to an open document that’s already saved. […] The beautiful raw power of ⌘S as a citizen of motor memory is that it’s automatic, mindless, habitual.
That’s why ⌘S here needs to be both deterministic and idempotent – if there is nothing to save, don’t let it fall back to the browser, don’t show an error message, don’t beep at the user. Just ignore the keystroke altogether.
