Small but useful. The GitHub sign up page have 4 fields for credit card details: card type, card number, expiration month and year. The one that is interesting is the third one, the expiration month. As always it’s goes from January to December, but not exactly like this. Actually the labels go from “1 – January” to “12 – December” starting with a month number instead of month name.
It’s not a big deal when you select the value with mouse, but selecting it via keyboard is much easier due to these fancy numbers. Selecting August is as simple as focusing on the list and hitting ‘8′. February? It’s ‘2′. July? It’s ‘7′. Notice this is much shorter as you need to hit only on key instead of hitting ‘Jul’ on the keyboard – there is also June, and January which share the same starting letters! Very easy and convenient. That’s how it should be!
Kudos to GitHub for figuring it out!
