Actually, they're nearly useless if you use software/OS capable of Emacs-style keyboard navigation and develop a habit of using C-a/C-e shortcuts. (Especially with CapsLock rebound as Control.)
- acabal 13y agoI like them specifically for reading web pages. When reading I can just rest my hand on the right side of the keyboard and browse with home/pgup/pgdown/end. Usually when I'm reading like this I'm not typing and so not in the mood for ctrl gymnastics.
- darkgray 13y agoWhile it doesn't remove the gymnastics requirement, a relatively nice alternative to webpage pgup/pgdn is shift-space/space.
- ricardobeat 13y agoPressing the spacebar in a browser has the same effect as the PageDown key.
