amio,

You'd think the chance of accidentally clicking Close on a browser tab would be fairly low, right? Not low enough.

I've also forgotten which application had focus and terminated it, which is a great way to feel like a fucking idiot.

PrincePew,

Undo closed tab is Ctrl + Shift + T in most browsers!

amio,

Doesn't always prevent Consequences - youtube is hilariously bad at remembering where you actually were in a video, for example.

The share button on any porn site.

thorbot,

I always hit the fucking emoji button instead of the number switch button, and I almost never use emojis but my brain doesn’t want me to change it

Muun,

When I got my mouse, it was so sensitive that I couldn’t rest my pointer finger lest I accidentally click. Had to take the mouse apart and put some rubber pieces under it to reduce the sensitivity. Razer Deathadder V2. Works amazingly well after that mod.

Also I use the MessagEase keyboard on my phone and I’m constantly hitting spacebar when I meant to hit ‘E’.

C instead of V when I try to paste something… Like I’ve got something copied and I accidentally hit Ctrl+C again, instead Ctrl+V and now I have to go copy the thing I want to copy again (and then proceed to missclick again, it’s a never ending cycle)

isendmemes,

Use Windows key+v. It will show you all recently copied text

HerbalGamer,

well shit TIL, thanks

AtmaJnana,

get a clipboard manager app

KpntAutismus,

numlock. i never use my numpad as anything but a way to type in 2FA codes, and when nothing happens, i get really confused.

Miimikko,

Kaepora Gaepora goes: “Did you get all that?” and you just smash A and answer “No”

One eternity later…

Interesting_Test_814,

The back button of my tablet.

RisingSwell,

I, because on youtube that takes me to picture in picture mode and I’ve literally never wanted it, but it’s right about k which is pause/unpause

Why not use space for pause? I never use k.

RisingSwell,

Because I use j and L for back and forwards 10 seconds, so I might as well use k for pause and resume given its in the middle. Also often space will just scroll down the page, like how up and down arrows sometimes do volume and sometimes scroll.

kaktus,

Way to often the player is not in focus (mostly after alt tabbing) and space bar scrolls me one page down. Now I have to scroll up again and klick into the picture. Infuriates me just thinking about it.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

I did notice that sometimes it scrolled down, but it didn’t happen enough for me to notice a pattern. I can see how k can be useful then.

A common one is # or + while trying to hit Enter. Also annoying is Caps Lock instead of Shift.

Krudler,

First thing I do with every new keyboard, at home or at work, is literally remove the CAPS LOCK key and throw it in the garbage.

Yes I know that there is software solutions, but it’s just easier this way, especially when I don’t necessarily have admin privileges

Hawke,

The mute icon on a browser tab. Chancrs of wanting to select the tab: 80%, close the tab, 20%, mute 0%. If I want to do that I’ll right-click and choose from the menu.

hactar42,

When trying to hit the full screen button on YouTube and I accidentally hit the progress bar and it skips to the end of the video

intensely_human,

In redvest I used to be able to set fulfillment type with one press. They changed it to a dropdown so now it’s two taps

A_Random_Idiot,

Steam Big Picture mode.

Its right there right next to large mode, which you need to use to browse the store.

and every time, I hit big picture mode instead.

and have to sit through the stupid animation, then try to remember how to put it back in regular mode.

and I dont understand why they cant give us an option to disable big picture mode. Its only useful for a niche minority of users, let them have it without becoming a headache for the rest of us.

and make steam remember fucking window sizes and positions while you’'re at it, fucking valve. every goddamn steam update just makes the performance and usability worse.

NeoNachtwaechter,

That button on the left side edge of my Dell mouse.

Sucker has thrown me out of a teams meeting yesterday. Never ever used that button before. Don’t know how it’s called.
