Numeric Keypad

punkle · 2009-02-10 01:03:52

Does anybody use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad? I just noticed that every now and again I will accedently hit the num-lock button, then spend the next 10 secs trying to figure out whats going on. And I have never once, in my 24 years of using a computer, used those arrow keys. Brian

I can recall playing a few games that pretty much insisted on them but apart from that I've used them less than the pause key (which I used occasionally in Access 1.0/2.0 days)

Only for games back in the day, but yeah, pretty much useless
