There's more than one way to look for consistency: in terms of key it was next to, or overall position on physical item.
In other words:
"It was above delete button"
vs
"It was in top right corner of the device"
From my personal usability perspective, FWIW, there's a difference between "Go to physical corner of a device" and "hunt for a very specific place in the middle of keyboard", but preferences differ.
- nomel 5y agoMy muscle memory wants things to stay where they are relative to one another. With it at the top right extreme, I would have to remember which computer I was at, since that location changes relative to all other keys.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoShows again how different people are :) I suppose it depends what your muscle memory is coded to? To me, muscle memory would be coded to "find top right extreme of device, then back off a little". I suppose yours night be "find delete key, go a bit above" or "this far from home row". (normally home row might be what I'd key too as well, but turning on and fingerprinting device is typically before I settle on home key in my workflow - I. E. I might not even be fully sat down...)
