I have a radical proposal.


Jan 7, 2021, 10:52 AM

It's long overdue and if there's one thing I accomplish in my life, I hope it's this: We need to get rid of the god damn Insert key on our keyboards once and for all. It's like a gag key. It only exists so you can hit it by accident and get a stupid, bemused look on your face when you overwrite your text.

I will die on this hill.

Maybe its just a case of bad eyesight

WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO RELATE TO BEING FAT? OK, LET IT GO. OK.

I must then press the num lock key, after having completely and rapidly typing all of my numbers in before looking up and realizing that I had not previously hit the num lock key, so that I can actually utilize the numeric key pad.

LOL yep. And when I remote into PCs, the numlock key

seems to randomly be on or off. So I have to turn off num lock on my local PC to turn it 'on' for the remote PC, then remember to turn it back on (off?) when I want to use my local PC again.

I just wish they would standardize keyboard layouts. There are 3 I use regularly and they all have the insert, delete and ctrl, Fn keys in a different place.

There are a lot of charts and stuff that I need to send folks that don’t have the software used to create said charts and it is a whole lot easier to prtsc than to export, format, save as.

Snipping tool will change your life, man.


Jan 7, 2021, 11:18 AM

You can crop exactly what you want, then circle or make notes on your screenshot to help out the poor dolts.

Newer snip & sketch is OK but I like snipping tool better.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Where is the snipping tool key


Jan 7, 2021, 11:25 AM

I ain’t got time for all this -

Select the Start button, type snipping tool in the search box on the taskbar, and then select Snipping Tool from the list of results.

Most of the time I need as much of the screen as I can get. I Alt+PRTScn probably 10 times a day. Trying to snip that mess would take too long.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But how do you even crop out your tnet tabs?!?


Jan 7, 2021, 12:18 PM



Actually, I used to use Jing when I was doing a lot more screen cap stuff. They had a hotekey and a handy little video option to so I could show someone exactly how to do whatever it was they were having trouble with.

Looks like it is called ' capture' now I'm gonna try it now...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Slippery slope imo. How would you CTRL-ALT-DEL without it?


Jan 7, 2021, 11:09 AM

What's next for you, the Scroll Lock? The F7 key?

Some people just want to watch the world burn I suppose.

Jan 7, 2021, 11:28 AM

Can you riddle me this though: How does one accidentally keep hitting the insert key?

That's not a problem I've ever had. Heck, I don't even mess around that geographic area of a keyboard much except for backspace...but that's a pretty darn big target and my pinkie is like 99.9999% accurate in reaching it.
