Again another reason to hate PC's, their keyboards are incorrect. Apparently there is no F13,F14, or F15 key, its like print screen and stuff for them. Also it has two enter keys, one should be a return!



I never had a problem before until my jack a$$ c++ teacher asked me where the 'return' key was after my program told him to press the return key when ready! I explained return is more correct and he just laughed, he doesn't like macs that b@$t@®d

    Yeah, we've got the return key figured out.



    But they've got the backspace key figured out.

    perhaps, but i try to rationalize it like this



    delete or backspace is used for...you guessed it deleting, it doesn't make sense to backspace a paragraph, and that delete key goes backwards for single characters because that is what is most used



    the del key is used for forward deleting, the reason there is a special key is because this i used less, i think macs are right because if its 'backspace' then it should be 'frontspace'

    argh my dad jut got a new keyboard for his pc and god we tried every shop around there parts and i couldnt find a bog standard sensible keyboard, they all had stupid "email" "webcam" etc buttons, WHY? ARGHH the most basic we could get was one with "power, sleep, wake" where "printscreen, scroll lock, pause" usually are on them, you dont know true hate till you instinctively press print screen and realise you've just made windows shut down without warning, TOTALLY WITHOUT WARNING!!!!!!!! for god sake my computer cant even sleep and wake, why do i need these buttons, and i keep pressing printscreen when i want to press insert (the old keyboards ctrl didnt work so shift+insert was my past) of course print screen takes a screenshot ¬_¬ well done windows, and thus clears the clipboard.



    god iwant to be back on my Ti just 2 more daays

    I'm pretty sure the old school Unix keyboards have return. So if you're a true CS superstar (or super geek), you'd acknowledge the return.



    Interestingly enough, all of the CS profs I know are mac-addicts.

    Usually Shift+F1, F2, and F3 correspond to those particular function keys. However the only time you would need to use them would be if a program was specifically designed to use them.
