Use Delete+(`). Just as unlikely to hit by
accident, easier to press on purpose.

No, because you need two hands for that. Ctrl-alt-delete can be pressed by a war veteran who suffered an injury while risking his Life to save our Country, provided his remaining hand is average or larger size. |

I need two hands to press ctrl+alt+delete |
|
| |
ctrl = bottom left hand side of my keyboard.
alt = bit more to the right of bottom left hand side of my keyboard
and Delete is almost to the right most point at the top of my keyboard. |
|
| |
You don't have two control and alt. buttons? |
|
| |
I'd completely forgotten about the Alt Gravé button. |
|
| |
even so, thats a really difficult twisty hand manoeuvre. |
|
| |
I'll show (tell) you how I do it, [po]: |
|
| |
Right Alt = Right index finger
Right Ctrl = Right ring finger
Delete = Right pinkie |
|
| |
my fingers just will not bend like that... |
|
| |
hey, they might with practice but I hardly think its worth the hassle. |
|
| |
You could just mash your hand on the right side of the keyboard and it would probably work. |
|
| |
You know, that's what I was trying to say, but I couldn't quite get it across. Can this be marked for deletion or something? |
|
| |
//What is the Alt Grave/ for// I always thought it was "Alt Gr(aphics)" |
|
| |
It's for typing characters like é and è in romance languages like French, Spanish and Italian. The French AZERTY keyboard has 3 characters on the number keys along the top of the keyboard. Use shift for the desired number and Alt Gr for the other character on the key. Default is the character on the bottom left of the key rather than the number. Not sure it used by Anglosaxon QWERTY types for anything. |
|
| |
I think it's Alt Graphics. I don't have it on my keyboard. |
|
| |
I do have a "SysRq" key, but I never use it because those five letters hardly ever come up all in a row. |
|
| |
Ah! A unique feature on the new keyboards, in which you dig your thumbnail into a screw on a keyboard, and twist, thereby activating Ctrl, Alt, & Del. |
|
| |
How about a cover for the keyboard, which has three fingers inside at the right places? |
|
| |
On top of the cover is a big mushroom head, which is connected to the fingers. |
|
| |
To re-boot, hit the mushroom hard with a big hammer. |
