Reasons to feel grrrr…
Having tortured you with useless keyboard jokes for too long, we bring you this from Mike Sykes.
‘Win-Pause brings up the System Properties dialog box, and Scroll Lock has the effect in Excel of toggling the arrow keys between moving the selected cell and scrolling the worksheet. I discovered this by accident, and wondered what I had done wrong,’ he says.
‘Try Windows key-E to get Explorer, or Windows key-L to switch users in XP,’ says Gary Watson. See, we can be useful. Not for too long, though.
‘In Backbytes on 13 October Peter Slegg mentioned a five-key keyboard, and you wondered which five letters those keys were,’ says Anthony Hawkins, at Sheffield University. ‘Actually, none were letter keys.’ So far, so good. ‘The first three were Control, Alt and Delete; the fourth key was labelled “Any”. No one is quite sure why, but the fifth was Alt-Gr.’
