For most users, this region of the keyboard is no man's land. 'Delete' is probably the only one that the typical Windows or Mac OSX user has ever intentionally used. 'Insert' is used in offices but it seems like most people would rather just backspace and then write in what they want.

>>61496135
I never use Insert, but I use the others all the time.

This all the way, navigating with keys is better, and I use more delete than backspace

Also, this key is archaic

>>61495542
Underage. Fuck off.

>>61496135
I do word processing as my job and the only key from those I never use is insert.

>>61496135
I use Insert all the time, with Shift.

I use PrtSc literally every day

>>61496564
This.

>>61496200
Well here's your reminder 2017-18 is 1999

>>61496564
I've disabled the PrtSc key. It's placed in the most unfortunate, moronic location possible within a 10-foot radius on new thinkpads. I accidentally the god forsaken key so much that typing scrot is just easier.

>>61496135
I use home and end all the time, but I don't really use the other keys.

>>61496833
These are useful on long webpages/articles!

>>61497835
I usually middle click the scroll wheel on long articles.

On my keyboard they're F13-F15

>>61497881
Which indicates you might be a fag.
Either F1-12 or OG F1-24 are healthy thresholds. If you have F13 F14 F15 directly on top of your navigation cluster, consult your doctor. Faggotry is very common with more than 4 million US cases, and can be life threatening if left untreated.

>>61495633
I use this daily.

>>61497881
>F13
wtf

>>61498102
You know the MS surface pen? The button on the back is basically a F19 key

>>61495532
This

before the snipping tool came around, I used print screen exclusively. Still use it frequently.

>>61495532
Alt+PrintScreen is pretty good as well.

>>61495542
It's for debugging. Certain developers use it sometimes.

>>61495542
It's used in quite a few rts games to actually pause the game.

>>61499365
It used to be popular in interactive debuggers to Pause a running program for inspection or toggle a Break point with that key, but I think everything that's been updated in the last 15 years or so uses F5-F10 for that to avoid triple Coke bottle combos on laptops.
