  • There have been enough times that I’ve stated something obvious and been declared mistaken by the original poster that I’ve learned to hedge my bets. Also, if I pretend to be ignorant of some obvious things, it can be funnier.

    If you’d prefer it to be framed another way, I’m a coward.


  • Presumably the original post was made facetiously, but since a lot of people are talking about special characters in the comments:

    I can’t confirm anymore, but besides all the alt shortcuts in the comments, in Windows it used to be that you could open the Character Map from the Start menu, then either copy any character from a chart or select the character to see its alt code.




  • Well, to each their own. Also, I can’t say whether this applies to you, but it seems likely that one might evolve a key shortcut preference from one’s early exposure. Mine was Windows and, eventually, Linux.

    I like shortcuts involving the Print Screen button because the label is clear to me and because I can take a screenshot with a maximum of two buttons rather than three, none of which clearly express “screenshot” to me.

    Regardless of the reasoning, I doubt we’ll come to an accord, but I respect your preference.
