I don't think I've used scroll lock since my FreeBSD days some 20 years ago.
I've remapped caps lock, so I use it pretty much all the time these days.

I don't get why Tab gives up the first, if anything, I would expect one of WSAD or Space. I think, I didn't even break Space on my keyboard when I played N and Super Meat Boy extensively, keyboards are tough

Buy new let's or swap them with heavily used keys. There's no reason to just toss them. That's ewaste

It's a joke.

You think it is, but keyboards are tossed a lot for having a single bad key

Most keyboards (not in laptops) are rubber dome ones though... Significantly less economical to repair.

I see keys for 5€ each, regardless of "rubber dome", scissors, membrane, whatever. What prices are you seeing?
FishFace@piefed.social · 3 pts · 109d
A keycap is that? I don't believe that is how rubber dome keyboards break... I think the rubber sheet degrades so that it no longer closes the switch when pressed, and you need to open up the whole thing, clean it, and replace the whole sheet (which is custom for each board, not as generic as a switch) if you can find one.

Check it out. 5€/key with everything included. It's more expensive than I'd like, but replacing a single key is much easier this way, much better for the environment, and way more economical than chucking the whole keyboard in the bin to buy another one for 20+€.

That's for laptop keyboards - I don't see any spare parts there for membrane keyboards. I said "rubber dome" but I guess that was ambiguous; I meant the PC keyboards where there's a single moulded rubber sheet inside that forms the switch and "spring". I was not able to quickly find anywhere offering spare membranes for ordinary keyboards, but I'm pretty sure they'll be more than 5 euro :P

Usual reminder here that you can remap Caps Lock to act as Control L for easy pinky access.
