Obscure button tier list (sh.itjust.works)

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".

Exactly. I feel that people shaming all these extra buttons must have been raised in the era of smartphones. They are all so useful. Well, except Insert. I still don't get the point.

ins switches between inserting and replacing text, very useful.

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

I find inserting text to be extremely confusing.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

I personally never find myself needed that, I just selected and overwrite instead.

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

For when the text you want to replace is exactly as long as the text you want to replace it with? Wouldn't you have to toggle it mid typing otherwise? Seems more useful to just shift+ctrl+right arrow and then type.

Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ist like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but it works in terminals too. Very useful.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Sounds why more awkward to type than CTRL+C

[-] Euphoma@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Ctrl-C halts whatever is running in your terminal though. To be fair, I've always just used Ctrl-Shift-C because thats closer to my hand.

I make a point of using smartphone onscreen keyboards that have these keys. They are too useful!

Hacker's Keyboard on Android and I created a custom Squeekboard layout for my Linux phone.

Or they vim bindings wherever possible, then those keys are a bit redundant and harder to reach
