When was the last time you pressed this key?

When was the last time you pressed this key?

An hour ago, so I guess it's been a bit.

when i was using my fat friend's thinkpad trying to press ctrl

Like 4 hours ago at work.

Maybe half an hour?

Can't remember

One week ago when I cleaned my keyboard

All the time actually. I have Fn and Ctrl switched using the BIOS setting because I don't like their placement on the T420

with intent to press it?

A few minutes ago so I could hit the "▶⏸" key on my keyboard to launch my media player.

Yes, because I suspected I had windows key and fn switched. So I tested the inputs by pressing the button intentionally.

About 3 minutes ago. Fn + F11/F12 = volume controls.

i use it to take screenshots, fn print screen

that's the only time I press it on purpose

Does this require Fn?

in mint cinnamon it does

What does the non-Fn PrtSc keypress do?

it's the 'end' key on this laptop which goes to the end. used exactly never

I set it to Fn lock when I installed Windows 2000, so maybe a month ago.

about a half hour ago

last night to change the brightness

I use it all the time on my laptop. What are you trying to say OP?

fn + f2 = f12

which i use quite often, for something, i can't recall

Frequently at work, Fn+Power for diagnostic boot on Dell laptops.

If I hit Fn+F2 it'd just be F2 because F2 is bound to brightness.

Same. It just makes more sense to have them switched.

>not using home/end/pgup/pgdn to navigate

my laptop has fn+f2 for screenlock and fn+f4 for sleep, so I use fn daily.
apart from those two cases, though, pretty much never.

a lot.

Fn + F2 to lock
Fn + PgUp for the thinklight
Fn + Home/End to change display brigtness
Fn + F9 to undock my laptop
Fn + arrow keys for Play/Pause/Previous/Next

so quite a lot, actually.

Usually by accident...I miss my old keyboard

Last night to turn on the thinklight.

Never

i use pgup pgdwn all the fuckin time, but home and end are in bfe top row danger zone between delete and f12 on this laptop

pgup and pgdwn are conveniently located on bottom of keyboard right by the arrows

would be faster to hold down pgup and wait than to try to find home button every time i wanted to go to top of page

but let's be real: it's easier and more fun to wheel click the page and autoscroll with the mouse

When I disabled my touchpad.

I use it all the time with volume control.

10 minutes ago.

Better question: When did you last use scroll lock?

I hit it on accident when I'm trying to quickly pause and unpause my street fighter script to type between roudns

oh and I had a keyboard where that button would activate the backlighting

My keyboard doesn't even have it

>his keyboard still has static, non-dynamic function keys

>he keyboard has less than 104 keys
>his keycaps have things printed on this
>his keycaps are ABS
is there any way to spot a poser faster?

mint cinnamon and all i do is press prt scn

>his keys have close to zero travel

I press it all the time to turn change lighting modes on my keyboard

Just to the left of the w̶i̶n̶d̶o̶ meta key?

It's quite useful in Excel.

Use it all the time on this little guy.

(With this keyset, it's located at caps lock and the right super key)

I don't actually know what that does

Wait... what does that key even do?

I press it at work all the time on my mates computer just to fuck with him.... work is boring

i avoid keyboards that stray from the ansi standard layout and replace keys with nonsense like that

My keyboard uses it to turn the LEDs on and off on Windows (CM Storm Devastator)

A few minutes ago. I use it a lot.

>what is CrashOnCtrlScroll

I moved the esc keycap on the caps lock key and mapped it as such.
And then I moved the Fn keycap on the esc key because the led on the Fn key is on only when Fn function is default, regardless of if the other leds are on or not. So I can toggle the leds on and off without having one led blinding me.

Probably around three minutes ago. Though it isn't the specific Fn key for me, it's the Caps Lock key that has been turned into a Fn key due to how important it is on a 60% keyboard.

Actually, I just used it since Fn + Backspace = Del on my keyboard. So a few seconds then.

last night to turn on the light at the top

about 30 minutes ago trying to copy and paste exhentai links at work

a few minutes ago.
i had to up my brightness looking at your mothers nudes.

>ISO physical layout

Ugh.

Yesterday I believe

about 11 seconds ago. I use it as part of key-binding combinations a lot...

in mint xfce it doesnt.

tldr: xfce master race

few minutes ago to unmute my sonic wallpaper

Often

couple hours ago to pause spotify

>my street fighter script
your wat

my street fighter script

i need it because my keyboard has printscreen and home on the same key, and the windows calculator on f12

I play on keyboard and you can't rebind the keys by default

just a simple hotkey script to rebind and create additional macros like throw and trigger

A few hours ago when I adjusted the backlight to its lowest level.

sounds complicated as hell m8. how are you playing? you can rebind keys with mame and console emulators like snes9x

wen ur mom came over last nite

Two minutes ago.

I press it to adjust my keyboards light.

it's set up exactly like a keyboard, the script only rebinds keys like [j::k] and [space::w] with a pause binding

not a difficult or complicated script at all

I almost never use a physical keyboard

The ultimate question - have you ever used the SysRq button?

All the fucking time to adjust screen brightness and sound level

i use the remote version on an unstable server i use for spying on voip traffic

it gets overloaded sometimes and the system refuses to sync to disk (I've waited 2 weeks before, there was still i/o)


echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

so really, about a week ago

Around 5 minutes ago.

every fucking reboot because my ducky doesn't have memory to remember backlight settings.

Just now to turn up my brightness.

Fn + arrow up/down is brightness control.

Maybe 10 minutes ago to turn down my volume. Why?

lol. nice attempt

Underage detected

Less than a minute ago. I press it at least 100 times a day. Probably a lot more than that?

>not using the Fn key for a variety of functions

baka

Yesterday because I wanted to copy something on my colleague's memepad. Is it so hard to not switch fn and ctrl?

>you mean your keyboard doesn't have a dedicated SysRq key, user?

10 minutes ago to adjust the brightness of my display now I have walked out into the sun.

2 minutes ago?

Whoever thought of putting it there in the first place should be shot

I don't have one. I have an irregular keyboard from 1993.

>his keyboard still has static, non-dynamic keys

>his keyboard still has keys

>he still has keyboard

>using anything but a full keyboard
Left mine in storage for about 7 years after I moved and I got it back a year ago. Good old thing is nearly 20 years old now but it is easily the comfiest keyboard I have ever used and still works like new.
The suspend, eject and sleep buttons don't seem to work on anything but 95/98 tho. Pity, I would love the sleep button.

That plus arrow keys controls volume on my machine.
That's pretty much it.

when did Sup Forums give up trying?

>The suspend, eject and sleep buttons don't seem to work on anything but 95/98 tho. Pity, I would love the sleep button.
Why don't you just create a keybind for those?
Are all Windows users this tech illiterate?

I use loonix. Maybe because on loonix it is already fast enough to put to sleep. On wangblows it would be much longer and would annoy me greatly.

This thread has reminded me I could do the sleep button though, save me two key presses.
