Keybindings font makes `O` and `0` ambiguous when they are not side by side.

Open Stan-Stani opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

The font used for the commands makes O look like 0 to inexperienced users. I'm sure that 0 actually has a slash through it, but when first navigating to a page, it's ambiguous. I was stuck wondering why Ctrl+Shift+0 wasn't working.

A possible work around that doesn't involve changing the font, would be to use o instead of O. That is "o" instead of "O".

Compare the html element's font to the tooltip font: image

@daviddossett Any suggestions on how we can handle this?

This looks like an issue with the typeface itself. Those look like zero to me too. We might need to just change the root code typeface for the site all up.
