Ask HN: Name of when inconsistent UI makes you feel like youre about to stumble
Is there a name for the feeling like you&#x27;re about to trip and fall that you get, when a UI is inconsistent?<p>For example, if a New Document Wizard uses Alt+N (&quot;Next&quot;) to proceed through several screens of input, before switching to Alt+D (&quot;Done&quot;) at the last screen.  At that point, you need to get out of the habit of using &quot;Next&quot; to proceed and start using your new document, and must use &quot;Done&quot; instead.<p>Every time I hit one of those weird little UI inconsistencies, it makes me feel like I&#x27;m about to trip and fall like in music, when a drummer misses the beat.<p>Edit: I&#x27;m not talking about intentional dark-patterns, I&#x27;m talking about things caused by oversights or deadlines.
