How much of your standard MacBook keyboard's area are you actually utilising? Do you know?<p>Keys that I honestly never use on my Mac:<p>- Globe fn key (it's just too inconvenient to press)<p>- caps lock (I PREFER NOT TO SCREAM WHEN I TYPE)<p>- F3 - show all windows (I use gestures)<p>- F4 - spotlight (I use command + space)<p>- F5 - dictation<p>- F6 - I have no idea what the moon icon means and what it does.<p>- F7 - rewind (Idk, I just never press it)<p>- right option<p>- right command<p>- right shift<p>Each key has a designated area; some keys are larger than others.<p>Based on this, I've calculated that I don't use 17.68% of my standard US MacBook keyboard.
Good question.<p>F6 half moon key is to enable disable focus, handy if you have ADHD no doubt.<p><a href="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255111106?sortBy=best" rel="nofollow">https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255111106?sortBy=best</a>
I don't have a Mac, but there's a lot of keys I never use.<p>I pretty much never use function keys for anything but setting volume and brightness, I fairly rarely use alt, escape isn't that common.<p>I use the arrow keys just enough that I'd be annoyed without them but definitely not all the time.<p>I could probably be fine with just ctrl, shift, enter, and the printing chars, with several weeks of work to learn some alternative to pgup/down/end/home, but I really like having those as single keys.
I don't use a MacBook, so perhaps this isn't of interest to you. I've never measured my keyboard use, but based on the wear on the keycaps, here are the keys I use the most: space bar; all letters except Q, P, Z, and X; backspace; and cursor keys.
