Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
I think you mean the f'n key

sometimes when i really get down to business I might be typing with left and mousing with right at the same time. i barely notice it anymore, but any time I need a new line, I just stretch over my mouse thumb and tap that numpad enter key. max efficiency and loving smooth

imo not a lot is ever said for the insert key, but it is by far one of the most versatile keys on a computer. just try it out once and see how it can transform your text editing experience.

i just pressed the insert key and now i can replace text. i just pressed it again, and now i can insert text. the possibilities are endless.

heresy

home, end, page up, and page down move the scroll bar

arrow keys move the insertion point

option and command increase the movement of the insertion point by one and two orders of magnitude, respectively

Cybernetic Crumb
When I was learning dvorak on my kinesis I would get frustrated sometimes and mash all the keys. The kinesis has a "remap" key and multiple times I hit it by accident and then had to A) figure out which keys had gotten remapped B) what are they supposed to be in dvorak and C) how do you use the remap key. Anyway I always thought that was pretty funny when I had to stop working and read my keyboard manual and look at a picture of the layouts so I vote for the remap key.

they are! i have two and one is going through a retrobrite test, so i have a bucket of caps just lounging in my den

theyre basically beige free so since the spacebar was made with the case plastic its really bad looking and got to be the first through the process
