Do we really need two shift keys?

I use both. I agree with the poster who said the real useless keys are the duplicate Ctrl and Alt keys.

Now WTF are they all about...

This means that you actually use CAPS LOCK? I think of that as the classic wasted key. Especially given its prime location.

This is why sun keyboards rule.




(I only use the right shift key. 60-80 wpm.)

That's not a Dvorak keyboard.

You are correct. I couldn't find a pic of one exactly like mine. Mine is the same shape, just each key has dual labels.

And there are no shift or tab keys in the middle of mine. Space, del, end, home, backspace, ctrl, alt, that kind of thing.

Does anyone use the one on the right side of the keyboard?

How exactly do you expect us to play pinball games? use the Z and / keys like some kind of sub human monster?

[dibbs]

Nope, I don't use it, not really freakin out about it though.

Can someone tell me what Number Lock and Scroll Lock do? Ive never managed to figure that one out.

The first thing I do on any new computer is to re-map the caps-lock key to a control key. I can't imagine having to reach way down with my pinky ever time I wanted to hit control.

Remapping it to Esc is another useful idea if you use vi for text editing.

I capitalize with the left shift key only and I type 90-100 WPM. So yeah.
