Keypeen
-
Because it's pressed and does nothing else, but change document navigation to scroll navigation for Lotus Notes email message editor window.
WTF Notes, why would I want
[END]
to push text off my screen where I can't read what I'm typing?
-
Scroll lock does something? I thought it just took up space…
-
Thank you Wikipedia, now I know that F7 in firefox inverts this functionality.
-
The purpose of scroll lock is to make your computer appear broken when it's pressed accidentally.
-
I'm pretty sure the purpose of Scroll Lock is to remap it to Volume Down on kebbards without media keys. Just like how Pausebreak is for Volume Up.
You only need 2 media keys, and there are 2 useless keys just sitting there. Do the math.
-
It's useful to have a mute as well, for when the boss walks in. :p

SevenThough they are doubled up as function keys on this laptop… which doesn't have a Scroll Lock key…
-
I got 4.
Wow, your keypeen is twice as big as the average person!

Wow
-
To be fair, I'm counting the volume control keys as media keys too. That might be wrong, in which case I also have four.

I'm going to guess Num Lock and Caps Lock, which while mostly useless, technically do something outside of Lotus Clownboat™. And it's possible someone cares.

Num Lock
Instead of a Num Lock, my current keyboard has Clear. No clue why. Also, the number pad is not very reliable. It tends to eat the first keypress in a particular window, though not all the time.

What kind of nightmarish keyboard do you have?

What kind of nightmarish keyboard do you have?
Apple keyboards used to have Clear instead of NumLock, because only inferior shitty PC computers even have the concept of "numlock". Which is stupid.

Dude, I got a Dell! And it hasn't annoyed me quite enough to replace it.

Not sure whether to say:
That explains a lot!
or:
The evil ideas thread is that way.
Probably both.

Well actually mine isn't Clear or Num Lock, it's "Silent Alarm"

My laptop has a Calculator button right next to Delete key, and shaped exactly the same. It kinda makes sense being above the numpad, but is Windows Calculator really the app you need a quick keybind for?
-
I've got quite a couple. Not sure which ones work, the only ones I use are with any frequency are play/pause, mute, and volume. Though I'm pretty sure prev/next track work as well.
(some testing later) turns out the only one that doesn't work is my computer...

Blakey:
I got 4 [useless keys].

He typo'd
104
. Probably forgot where the 0 and 1 keys were.

can't be arsed to find the thread where he keeps getting cut, copy and paste mixed up
One thing I never understood: I keep seeing things like "just cut&paste from the webpage". How the hell do you cut text from a webpage?
Filed under: INB4 "From the source code", INB4 you can't cut from "View source": you could do that in Opera Classic

One of the guys at work just got one of these.
Needless to say he's now the most popular guy in the office.

That looks awesome!

Did you whoosh or am I reading too much into this?
FWIW, I know of a music tracker that used Scroll Lock for toggling whether the window scrolled along with the playhead while playing.
-
The only time I can recall using scroll lock was to scroll around in Excel using the arrow keys.
-
Found this. I'm not going to use it and I don't know if it's trustworthy, but it may be of interest to anyone else:
Network Lights lets you monitor network activity (upload/download) from your keyboard ScrollLock and NumLock indicators. Each LED will flicker when network traffic is detected.

We both buttumed (well, I did anyway) that @blakeyrat was saying how many media keys he has.

From the video..

is Windows Calculator really the app you need a quick keybind for?
For an accountant, yes :D
-
Your accountants don't have fancy pink desk calculators?
-
Calculator being a single key is pretty handy if you need to quickly work something out and you're in something that's not Excel.

Ctrl-K in my browser? (Ok - that's two keys, but still...)

It puts a "?" into Chrome's boxy thing, which I assume calls special google magic?
-
Well I knew about entering it into the search bar (or the AllPowerfulOmniWhateverBar in Chrome) but I didn't know Ctrl + K would take me there.
-
Yeah, it seems to.
Like
?2+4
shows 6.
-
Ctrl-K in my browser?
I use Ctrl+Shift+K (I'm one of those weird Firefox users too. In Chrome it's Ctrl+Shift+J).

It forces search mode, so I can search for "facebook.com" for some reason.
-
Which keyboard is that and where did you get it?
-
They have a language where P is represented by 3, and H is represented by P?

For an accountant, yes
Bullshit. An accountant would have a 10-key on their desk. Preferably an older beige model from the 1980s. With papertape.
