Obscure button tier list (sh.itjust.works)

If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

For those learning how good Home is, wait until you try CTRL + Home. Start of the file.

Also see: CTRL + End

Exactly. I feel that people shaming all these extra buttons must have been raised in the era of smartphones. They are all so useful. Well, except Insert. I still don't get the point.

Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ist like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but it works in terminals too. Very useful.

Sounds why more awkward to type than CTRL+C

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Ctrl-C halts whatever is running in your terminal though. To be fair, I've always just used Ctrl-Shift-C because thats closer to my hand.

ins switches between inserting and replacing text, very useful.

I personally never find myself needed that, I just selected and overwrite instead.

I make a point of using smartphone onscreen keyboards that have these keys. They are too useful!

Hacker's Keyboard on Android and I created a custom Squeekboard layout for my Linux phone.

Or they vim bindings wherever possible, then those keys are a bit redundant and harder to reach
