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.
Anytime I go to tap something on a page and it suddenly decides something hadn’t loaded yet and suddenly changes whats under my finger/mouse.
I’ve had that in happen to me where I try to click on something and it opens a new page. I go back to the previous page. Aim for the link I want to click… Press it… refresh Click the wrong one again…
Sometimes this can go on for 3 or 4 times. I feel like I’m going insane when it happens. How can something so simple be so complicated
Yes. Urge to kill RISING!
This is how we know human advancement still has potential. Nobody has implemented a solution for this. It could be so simple.
Keep the element where the cursor is in the same spot. Any shifting of other elements above or below, fine, but whatever the cursor is on is locked.
Something loads below? Expand the page down to fit. Something loads above? Expand the page up to fit.
It’s not rocket science, guys.
I get this on the web interface of my 3D print server. Occasionally come back in a few hours having printed the wrong file…
This drives me crazy.
C instead of V when I try to paste something… Like I’ve got something copied and I accidentally hit Ctrl+C again, instead Ctrl+V and now I have to go copy the thing I want to copy again (and then proceed to missclick again, it’s a never ending cycle)
Use Windows key+v. It will show you all recently copied text
well shit TIL, thanks
get a clipboard manager app
The “Post” button on Lemmy before I finished writing my c
ads. I have literally never clicked on an advertisement on purpose.
When trying to hit the full screen button on YouTube and I accidentally hit the progress bar and it skips to the end of the video
The N key on my phone keyboard. I’m constantly hitting it when I meant to hit Space. So frustrating.
For me it’s “v”.

For me it’s the . In the browser on iOS. The spacebar shrinks and gives space to the . button that I then constantly hit by accident
Also, the P and M keys when I mean to hit backspace (I use an AZERTY so the M is at the end of the second row right next to L P and backspace). It’s like aah I want to delete the last character not have more Ps and Ms thrown after it !
I’ve been thinking for like 10 years that phones should have calibration functions specifically for the keyboard.
I have big hands, I am talking about palm a basketball sized hands. This makes it nearly impossible for me to ever hit the letter I think I’m hitting. Surely there’s enough computing power available now to figure this out.

Here, let’s forcefully open up Microsoft Edge regardless of what your browser is set to!
I, because on youtube that takes me to picture in picture mode and I’ve literally never wanted it, but it’s right about k which is pause/unpause
Why not use space for pause? I never use k.
Way to often the player is not in focus (mostly after alt tabbing) and space bar scrolls me one page down. Now I have to scroll up again and klick into the picture. Infuriates me just thinking about it.
I did notice that sometimes it scrolled down, but it didn’t happen enough for me to notice a pattern. I can see how k can be useful then.
Because I use j and L for back and forwards 10 seconds, so I might as well use k for pause and resume given its in the middle. Also often space will just scroll down the page, like how up and down arrows sometimes do volume and sometimes scroll.
The Caps Lock key. I hate it so much that I took it off my keyboard completely. Been that way for over 6mths now. Love it.
I always remap it to be an additional super key so it has an actual purpose and I can more easily use keyboard with no windows key.
It’s an
ESCkey for me personally. Some of my friends with the fancy schmancy keyboards have it so that holding that button down gives their keyboard an additional layer. Like, holding that down will makeJ/K/L/Iwork as arrow keys, something like that.found the vim user
When I hitbthe B button instead of spacebar on my tiny, touchscreen cell phone.
For me it’s the period next to the spacebar. I think my right thumb comes down at just the wrong angle to touch both at the same time. One of these days maybe I’ll wise up and change the layout… but not today.
oh man this actually pisses me of so much. I’ve been using the swiftkey keyboard long before it was bought by Microsoft, back when it was a paid app, and I swear it has gotten significantly worse at word prediction , key detection, and swipe accuracy.
I’m finding that I have to type letter by letter if I want any kind of garuntee that it will choose the right words. Swipe has become a waste of time because I am constantly going back to fix words it got wrong. And B instead of space is a constant!
I always hit the fucking emoji button instead of the number switch button, and I almost never use emojis but my brain doesn’t want me to change it
The mute icon on a browser tab. Chances of wanting to select the tab: 80%; close the tab: 20%; mute: 0%. If I want to do that I’ll right-click and choose from the menu.
Q in Minecraft. It throws whatever item you’re holding. Sometimes I’m frantic trying to fight something and I end up tossing it my sword. If it’s a zombie, they can pick it up and use it against you.
Yeah, I got annoyed enough at this that I remapped it to
;.I’ve had drop item on P for a decade now for the same reason
Nothing like throwing your upgraded diamond sword, into your mob farm. Especially if you haven’t put in the droppers.
numlock. i never use my numpad as anything but a way to type in 2FA codes, and when nothing happens, i get really confused.
Going for tab and hit caps lock
