    Talking What is the most popular key on your keyboard?

    Everyone has atleast one key that is used so often that you can barely read the letter / number / phrase on it anymore.

    So tell me, what is it? ...if you can still read it.

    Have to agree with Elbatcho...especially since switching to a laptop and not having my ergonomic keyboard.. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
    Failure is not an option -- its a "feature" of Windows.

    I have windows... so I guess it's ctrl+alt+del. If it has to be only one key... pick one of 'em.

    Since I do a lot of MUCKing, I probably use the " and : keys the most (They are the shortcuts for the SAY and POSE commands). I sometimes find myself trying to use them even on IRC and chatrooms that don't require them.

    The MU* client I use, SimpleMU, uses CTRL-P and CTRL-N to scroll back and forth through the input buffer, and I sometimes find myself trying to use these keys at the DOS prompt. Whoops!

    I use the Esc and Ctrl keys the most.

    I cut and paste everything....

    Ctrl + c to copy
    Ctrl + v to paste

    I hate the mouse.... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

    I've worn out so many keyboards I've got a pile of them in the back.... <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

    If any of them wore out the fastest, it would be the ones that get thrown across the room when that stupid piece of code doesn't work <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

    Cool

    Tab and Delete seem to be worn more than others. Funny but I have never given it a thought. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

    If it is one key, it would probably be the "D" key. That is the "move forward" key under my q3 setup. LOL
    If it aint broke, TWEAK it!
    When in doubt, throw it out!!
