For me, it's "Clear Storage". Sometimes I try to clear the cache of some mobile game I'm playing and end up deleting all my progress instead.

Not specifically a button but I swear if I'm not looking at my phone playing something for audio on YouTube, the lightest touch anywhere on the screen just so happens to be where the ad is.

For me, it’s any button my dog hits when he steps on my PS5 controller while I’m watching TV. ANY button.

For work i have to compress files together for submissions and on Mac the compress option is right above the duplicate option, not all the time but enough times to piss me off I end up duplicating the files instead of compressing them.

Ctrl + Q (close window) in my browser instead of Ctrl + W (close tab)

Similarly, Ctrl + R when Discord has focus (when I thought Firefox was focused instead).

When I got my mouse, it was so sensitive that I couldn't rest my pointer finger lest I accidentally click. Had to take the mouse apart and put some rubber pieces under it to reduce the sensitivity. Razer Deathadder V2. Works amazingly well after that mod.

Also I use the MessagEase keyboard on my phone and I'm constantly hitting spacebar when I meant to hit 'E'.

Lol, I've never heard of anyone clears the storage by a mistake.

A common one is # or + while trying to hit Enter. Also annoying is Caps Lock instead of Shift.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

First thing I do with every new keyboard, at home or at work, is literally remove the CAPS LOCK key and throw it in the garbage.

Yes I know that there is software solutions, but it's just easier this way, especially when I don't necessarily have admin privileges

The back button of my tablet.

if I slide my finger from the letter "q" on phone keyboard to bottom right, it's an ESC.

some apps register that and sometimes leaves the whole page where it was

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can we stop opening help webpages each time i accidentally press F1 instead of esc? Pretty please?

I cant remember if it's Facebook messenger or WhatsApp as I don't use either that often, but one of them has a button on the keyboard to send like animated images or something and it's so easy to hit that button and then select an image but the problem is that it doesn't add it to a message which you then have to send, it just sends it straight away. I've sent some really inappropriate things to people I hardly know as a result, and I don't feel like the attempt at an explanation helps.

That button on the left side edge of my Dell mouse.

Sucker has thrown me out of a teams meeting yesterday. Never ever used that button before. Don't know how it's called.

Kaepora Gaepora goes: "Did you get all that?" and you just smash A and answer "No"

In redvest I used to be able to set fulfillment type with one press. They changed it to a dropdown so now it’s two taps

The share button on any porn site.
