i think youre just a faggot, op

pause is the most useless
everything else is alright

>>109819203

I use the bottom four so much that they're mapped to my mouse buttons/wheel, and I won't buy a laptop without them. Spacebar for page-down is WAY too hit-or-miss on webpages.
>>
i absolutely love my chud gpt instance
i """taught""" it to bring up everything that i dont know
you can do so much with an llm

except write ecent code
thats beyond the capabilities of the tech

>>109819151
I use these quite often actually.
My picture viewer xnview uses page up/down as the keys for next/prev picture when in single picture mode.
Home and end of course are useful to quickly go to the start or end of a line, especially useful when writing a program.
Pause is useful to pause the starting screen when you need to read stuff you usually don't have the time to read. It's also used in software that repeat keyboard and mouse actions, to pause the playback loop, for it's the only key it doesn't record.
Scroll Lock is useful in a hexadecimal editor, although most hexadecimal editors have an option anyway.

I use the bottom four all the time.
Ya the top two are never useful for me.

>>109819341

i respect you old old oldfags, unironically

>im setting up a tone for the cojnversation
yeah
the shatbot is gonna regurgitate to you what correlates to the constellation of tokens your interaction with it- is
theres many ways you could utilize humanization
introduce weaknesses, or what i do- just make my fuzzy search- fuzzier

im a self taught
its a given i have holes in my knowledge

>>109819404
>shortcut/binding

i meant: "hwen was the last time you used it in its intended use"
>>
>>109819151
you don't have a real white collar job if you don't use all of these but scroll lock and pause, at least semi-regularly

do you use it to lock your scrolling DOE?

>>109819151
home and end keys make typing multiple lines of documents/codes go a lot faster.

>>109819151

I'll remember that you exist.

...nyo. you caught me.

>>109819151
You, OP, are the useless one - a literal Oxygen Thief.
I use these keys all the time.
Obviously, you're just a normie Windows end-user and should lurk two years before posting again.
Install Gentoo.
