on one hand it’s the big enter key on the num pad because it’s a pain in the rear end when I hit it by accident but on the other hand that key is very helpful sometimes

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

backspace is for babies that make mistakes typing
typing is literally the easiest thing in the world you just press buttons with your fingers, if you do it wrong then you should definitely have your driving licence revoked because you have a dangerous lack of coordination

voted sysrq because the only conceivable use I have ever heard for it is maaaaaaaybe rescuing your linux after it shits its pants. scroll lock lets you scroll back up the console output on BSD

the insert key is real bad

unless you use it to prank annoying coworkers by pressing it and then observing them get annoyed at how unusable their computer now is for typing up a document

oh yeah, you can use scroll lock to gently caress people up the same way if they use excel a lot :laugh:

voted sleep button. even pause/break is useful sometimes. sleep button is always a mistake. bnever pressed this on purpose and always fucks your poo poo up. a trap of a button.

agreed, win+break opens the system control panel on windows so at least it's better than the actively detrimental sleep button
