Are you telling me that you never use the contextual menu key? Motherfucker it's basically a mouse right-click on your keyboard
>>
I use it a lot when I only have a keyboard plugged in.
>>
>>61566420
it's actually fairly useful
>>
>>61566686

I honestly don't even remember what Scroll Lock actually does.
>>
>>61566420
I use it to right click because my touchpad sucks
>>
>>61566764
few programs use it but excel uses it to change your arrow keys from one cell at a time to one page at a time
>>
>>61566565
my shitty backlit keyboard uses it to turn the backlight on and off
>>
>>61566420
yea use to use it all the fucking time.
tab, ctlr, alt, enter, backspace, and that key are the only things you need to navigate any file browser.

>>61566420
It binds to M-x in Emacs gui

dont know, is it a meme?

>>61566565
I made it my OBS recording toggle. Much like I made my Winblows key a PTT button. They're generally useless keys, so unbind everything and repurpose them.
>>
>>61566420
Binded it for opening the terminal

>>61566614
this

>>61569761
I like that idea. Might have to do that.
>>
>>61566420
Yes, it's really useful on a laptop, or when you go 100% keyboard. (okay, usually it's 99.999%)

Also this >>61569761
>>
>>61569761
Clever.
>>
>>61566420
For bringing up the context menu when navigating the GUI with the keyboard. It's quite handy.

I do use that when my right hand is occupied
HOLDING MY COFFEE MUG...
>>
>>61566420
I use it all the time on my lenovo laptop, since the touchpad is horrible and can't right click
>>
>>61566420
Yeah how else would I screencap?
>>
>>61566565
A lot of cheap KVMs use it to toggle between outputs.
>>
>>61566420
can't live without it
>>
>>61566420
To right click when typing in a word document. Like, change the size and colour of a chunk of text without actually using my mouse. Why waste that hand travel time to reach for my mouse for RMB when I have this key.

Git gud m8
>>
Yeah, I remapped it as right-super on my laptop, since they keyboard otherwise lacks it. Right-click is directly under my thumb anyway.
>>
>>61566565
Don't have one on my laptop, but I remember my old keyboard correctly, it's probably to far away to bind to something useful. Maybe bind it to lock the screen or launch some program.

>>61566420
Bound mine to mod4
>>
>>61566565
i use it when i work on lotus123 for the closure
>>
I used it once years ago and haven't been been able to close the terminal ever since.
>>
When I'm high and make a typo in a browser and realize that Alt+Enter doesn't open a suggestion popup like in IntelliJ I'll press that to select a suggested word instead of moving my hands to the touchpad/mouse.
>>
>>61566565
>Does anyone ACTUALLY use this for anything?

I use it as my compose key.

>shit program that no one uses
Ayy slow down on the memes
>>
i use it as a mute mic button for discord and teamspeak.
