It's great when you can learn stuff like this on ILX. Like, I'm having a compulsory computer course at the uni (one I should've done years ago), and one thing we have to do there is to create your own homepage in HTML, and when I was learning to do that I realized I already knew some of the commands (like "img src" and "a href=") because I've learned to use them here.

My keyboard also has buttons for volume control, media player, "Internet", "Close Program", and some "Hotkeys". They do fuck all.

i've appropriately configured all my hotkeys to bring up various photos of myself.

Oh, it is done already. Since I don't see much point in learning HTML, I only made it to fit their minimum requirements.

noobs.

But seriously, I think I use pretty much all of these regularly except for scroll lock and that button that simulates a right click. There's an entire set of commands that the Windows key can be used in conjunction with that are really useful:
(using wk for Windows key)
wk+r: Run dialog
wk+e: New windows explorer window
wk+pause: System Properties

and those are just a few of the amazing things you can do with a modern keyboard. Next week, I'll explore the mythical "apple" key on Macs.

This started as a parody of the banalness of recent threads and became a thing of instructive beauty. wk+e has made this all worth it. Thank you, sandbox.
