Put your right thumb on the CTRL button.

Which F# button can you press at the same time as the CTRL button?

I can press F11 (I have very big hands).
Posted by jlittle, 09:19, 24th June 2003:
 
i can reach past F12


















(on my laptop keyboard)
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 09:19, 24th June 2003:
 
Damn! F9 .. but if i put my right thumb on the right CTRL button then i can easily hit the F11 button.

I assume you meant use the left CTRL button?
Posted by Grim..., 09:25, 24th June 2003:
 
Yeah, the left CTRL button =]

are you going to draw up a league table?
Posted by Sul, 10:43, 24th June 2003:
 
If I really stretch it I can touch Ctrl and F9 but it kinda hurts and I wouldnt be able to actually press them
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:47, 24th June 2003:
 
F6? Kitten, you must have wee baby hands.
Posted by Sul, 10:48, 24th June 2003:
 
HAHA! Ctrl and F9 pressed! Up yours all you F8-ers.

Now to put my little finger back into place.

I like a bird with small hands. Its makes the old boy look bigger. Thankfully I dont think I'll ever have a reacharound off Grim...
Posted by Sul, 10:53, 24th June 2003:
 
Its like the old joke:

Jeremy Beadle has a small cock, but on the other hand its quite big.
Posted by 100% kitten, 11:07, 24th June 2003:
 
not really - they look quite normal to me

F6, but i have a silly split keyboard, so it doesnt really work.
Posted by Ana, 13:30, 24th June 2003:
 
F6, but there's a 5cm gap between each block of function keys and the ESC key as well, so I'm disadvantaged :=:o)

F8, but it's on a curvy "natural" keyboard :(

F4, yes my hands are tiny. I wear a size 4 ring.
Posted by arsepuppy, 14:17, 24th June 2003:
 
Gary Glitter is also fond of size 4 rings.

You could have the 100 character sprint - 100 chars of code to be typed out as fast as possible...

I finished it the other day, it's one of the best books I've read for a while.
(Not at all about that sort of pi though, Cal)

I think Grim struggles with the fact that Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds aren't the same person :D
