Anyone here use the Caps Lock key?

The keypad is much faster than the line numbers above the alphabet for repetitive numeric data entry. As for me, I do not use the caps lock key, despite tying in all caps at work in our system. My left pinky is almost always sitting on the left shift button most of the time. I also use the scroll wheel on the mouse, and never the arrow keys to scroll a webpage.

Does anyone here use the Dvorak layout of the keyboard? For the record, I've never seen those types of keyboards in my life (Qwerty keyboards with the tops of the keys moved around to fit the Dvorak layout don't count).



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whenever I save a file, I almost always go "File --> Save/ As" instead of Ctrl + S. I don't know why, but I just do. However, I do tend to use the other commands, such as undo, find, cut/copy, and paste via the control buttons more than I right click with the mouse.

Also, it's a habit now but I tend to double click on even single click items.

I found possibly the most annoying thing that I do now when I'm reading articles or long texts on the webpage, is that I tend to highlight almost ever few lines as I read along, which is a habit of mine and I don't mind, but I have to be careful if other friends are also reading the same article on the same page as me during a class session or group work.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes, now that you mention it, I think that's really why I do it. Despite not being a fan of highlighting text in real life, it's my e-highlighter version of being able to focus in on a particular piece. Large boxes of text generally just drive my eyes to skip the middle section and skim the top and bottom to get a general gist of the subject matter. However, highlighting even the middle portion of the text allows me to read it easier.
