Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
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".
I saw the picture before reading the edit and was trying to imagine what OP was doing that made the end key significantly more useful than the home key, like not going backwards on principle or something.
Okay I'll bite..: How are PgUp and PgDown yellow, when Menu is missing from the list?
Right? Same with Home, I use that all the time.
I use all of these except ScrollLock.
What about the CapsLock key? Windows menu key?
Don't take my pause key from me that's the best key! I just want pausable games to bind with that key again like they used to, guys it's right there by name and everything. Just started playing rollercoaster tycoon 2 again and, after the mandatory drowning of the first person I saw, I was delighted to find the pause key pauses the game. Even better is if I need to take a break from something pause/break is inclusive of it all. I can walk away from what I'm up to for minute and don't have to worry that the machine is going to feel abandoned because it's right there on the key just taking a break little buddy I'll be back.
No one's gonna throw shade at the ≣ key? Aka the Menu Key?
It's next to useless. It's almost always used to open the right-click menu, which is specifically for GUIs and based on the mouse position... so why not just right-click? What silly person is using their mouse except to bring up the context menu?
I'd say the same about the Super Key (❖) Aka The Windows Key, but I got i3wm on my laptop and I am loving having a GUI without needing to use my mortal enemy: the Trackpad. Plus it's a minor time-save above moving windows/clicking menus with the mouse; still doesn't apply to Menu when your finger's already hovering over the RMB.
I have to disagree with the Windows key being useless. Win+Shift+S for selective screen grab to clipboard. Win+E to open a new Explorer window. Win+D to show the desktop. They were my go-tos. Now I'm forced to use Mac I use the Win key all the time too, Win+C, Win+V....
I use it to open the spell checker options while I'm typing. It's annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mouse. My current laptop doesn't have the key and I even added another short key.
The super key, again, is useful so you don't have to switch between keyboard and mouse when searching for an app. It is also the modifier for all GUI shortcuts.
Ctrl+ pgup/ pgdn.
Moving tabs in Vscode or browsers.
God Tier on thinkpad keyboard.
Where's the Copilot key?
I use Win+Pause as a shortcut to bring up the system menu in Windows. I've used it so much over the years, it takes me a minute to figure out how to find that menu when I'm using a keyboard that doesn't have a Windows key.
I also use Home and End about equally. Quick way to scroll back and forth across text or files/folders.
