Hello,

Just another topic my colleagues were talking about today, which I found quite interesting. When your you are asked to press any key, is there a specific one you choose?

Peter.

Slap the keyboard a few times with my open palm. :P

Normally the space bar. I am lazy. :)

I press 'a' or sometimes an arrow key. Keeps the comuter guessing.

I always press "n"

(Too many bad DOS experiences I guess)

What ever key I find myself pressing.

Usually a few at once.

Ctrl

It often does nothing, so I try Alt or Shift or NumLock - which often does nothing either.

Then I try the winkey, which usually does something but often not what was intended.

Or if I'm not being difficult, I press the space bar. Often with my toe.

I'm fairly sure that I was asked to hit "Any key" once before and when I pressed "Esc" it asked me if I was sure I wanted to quit...

-.-

That's not ANY KEY!

>.<

So for me it's space.

space bar for me, though at work I do have a piece of blue tack shaped into a key with any written on it between esc and F1 :lol: and yes I have had some people ask about my extra key and what it does :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Depends. When using a command line then nearly always space, but when mouse-ifying it can be the return key.

Almost always the Space bar. Just because it's the one I can hit without much effort or attention :lol:

Normally I use the space key if I am asked to use a key.

Else I use Command. This will wake up the Mac without doing anything else. Sometimes I may use Shift for the same reason.
