Keys

Whats is your favorite and least favorite keys to press?

My favorite: I'd have to go with the s key just because my left ring finger is always sitting on it ready to press it at my neural command. or something.

My least favorite: the number lock key, because its allll the way over there and i have to actually leave my hands set position to get to it... stupid num lock.

I would have to go with T or H because they start so many words and they are automatic to me. Every other letter I have to look at for awhile and press with my index finger.

T&H!! !

Enter.

It's pretty big, easy to hit, and does a lot of important stuff.

Also it's one of the few keys that usually have a word AND an arrow.

My favorite keys are a combo: alt, ctrl, and del. They're the "oh fuck" keys.

Computer locked up? "Oh fuck," is what you say as you press those three in unison in a vain attempt at unfreezing the piece of shit. Usually, this requires a second pressing to reboot the whole system.

I like any of the number keys. I use the 10 key...not those dumb ones at the top.

I have to use SPs choice....I hate cntrl alt del. It usually never works for my "fatal errors" anyways.

The Any key. Can't find the fucker.

The Space Bar. Always sounds so promising, but every time I press it I remain here.

Control. Never had any.

Escape. Doesn't do it for me. Have to resort to chemicals.

This one: §
WTF?!

Anyway, I type on a Dvorak keyboard, so I can reach every key in a billionth of a second with my little finger and still have hands free to answer the phone, change the baby, stroke the cat, trigger the nuclear device and seduce the..

Num lock...mainly cause it isnt always on when I boot my fathers computer up, and I always reach for the number keys and they dont work, then I SMACK the numlock key.

My left mouse key is my fave key, it does all the killing in Quake.

*laughs at Lightbulb's reply*

I never get a Tab when I press the tab key!

My favorite has to be the backspace key. I use it more than any other one. I must've used the bastard about 50 times in this reply alone!

I CAN'T HAVE A FAVORITE KEY TO PRESS, THE TROLLS WON'T LET ME tack, this was the cruelest thing you could possibly do. You know the trolls move my keys around each and every night while I sleep!

but on a brighter note, I figure the letters will never be worn off any of my keys.

Scroll Lock.

What is this thing. It's mysterious. I've never used it. It must be for something.

It just sits there, quietly not locking scrolls.

I think sometimes it talks to me.


selah.


ps. tack rules!

Space Bar.

No question.

The only key you could pull out and use as a dildo.

The only key with nothing on it.

Just a gigantic space.

And when I type, my thumb likes to bang it.

The sound of me typing.

*click click click BANG! click click click click click BANG! BANG BANG!!!*

The space bar rules.

scroll lock is a pretty good answer too.

I use Ctrl and Alt a lot... I usually don't feel like using my mouse for stuff, so I use these keys. For instance, I love my alt-tab and ctrl-w (in Opera and Photoshop, at least, it closes the current window). There are a few other combos, too.

I think the scroll lock was invented purely so you could use the numberpad to change views in MS Flight Simulator 3(or 4?).

Don't have a favourite. I like 'em all.
