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".

You don't use Home? Home and End are my two most used keys on this list. IDEs move your cursor to the beginning of the line but after the indents. It's God -tier.

I second this! You're not really a programmer until you know how to use home button.

I don't usually gatekeep, except to OP.

but modal editors :/

PgUp and PgDn are also extremely useful when scrolling through logs

Home / End to navigate

Shift home/end to select text

add CTRL to navigate the whole doc / page

add shift again to select whole page

I use them constantly, but I'm flipping between excel (/sheets), web, CLI, GUI most days

Seriously this was my first thought.

I actually remap PgDn/PgUp to Home/End on my poorly-designed keyboard that lacks those

I really miss home and end on my laptop keyboard. (Hate needing to use the Fn+Home key each time.)

On Macs you can just use command left and right. Reuse keys so I get more 😬

I haven’t used literally any of the keys in this photo for years

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, sure. I type on my laptop that doesn't have any of these as physical keys. It's fn+arrow keys for pg up, pg down, home, and end, for example.

I use a crkbd/corne keyboard so I also don’t have these keys on there either. Just a waste of space imo. Clearly I’m in the minority though.
