The highest possible impact change regarding reducing the initial complexity of CoCalc is to move most of the title bar buttons to organized menus. Keyboard shortcuts could then be documented (and added when missing) to make it easy to get quick access to each command, quicker than clicking a button. This is what it looks like so far:

- tricky-- have to do this via CSS instead of not rendering it, since
  otherwise **autofocus** happens!
- it is very hobbled by the new menu system, so just disabling it for
  now.
- this is meant to just be more user friendly, so people don't have
  to search through menus or docs quite as much...
