imo it's gotta be alt. useful everywhere and it's cross-platform. everything's got an alt key.

this isn't a modifier key cause you don't use it in conjunction with other keys. p sure even emacs doesn't have any shortcuts that are like [NUM LOCK] + [SHIFT] + J

when i was in college there was a lab that had machines with a bunch of weird keys like "props", "front", and "again". so the custom was that if someone said something funny, you could "give them props" by reaching over and hitting their "props" key. it mapped to something weird so it would usually just dump a bunch of garbage into whatever they were doing. good times

I like the SysRq key because I don't know what it does. Or if it's really a modifier key or whatever.

i rolled back a few versions to fix that. the one that is installed by ninite is buggy. 2.22 doesn't crash for me :)

i basically use iut for the simple feature that i can start multi[ple copies and it wont try to do them concurrently like windows :rolleyes:
