Personally I press Ctrl
Alt
ESC
Arrow keys
I press the down arrow key!
Left for me
I just open it.
The “any” key, of course.
Usually space
I move the mouse.
Space key. That way it won’t accidentally enter an actual letter or command that could be passed to the current active application.
That’s not really much of a problem anymore these days (serious issue in WinXP era), but it’s still the safe key, so I use it.
Edit: I totally botched this. I meant Shift key. Derp.
Space bar is “accept” in many interfaces. If the screen was off but not locked, and a dialog box was focused, hitting space will submit that in some OS.
Control, on the other hand, won’t.
I stomp on my usb foot pedal
Uuu, nice. Always wanted one of those. What do you use yours for?
I use mine for Star Power in Clone Hero (Guitar Hero-ish game)
Way back in the day I always wanted one to use as my push to talk key for Ventrilo… But these days with noise reduction algorithms, boom mics with cardioid sensitivity spaces, and adjustable activation threshold, I just leave my mic on auto activate.
I should probably find something else to use it for…
To wake the computer up from sleep.
