Okay, so if you could have any keyboard shortcut for any program work for you in real life, what would it be? Since I know everyone is going to say CTRL+Z, I'm excluding that. No undoing allowed!

In anycase, I'd probably pick ctrl+F for find. Imagine not having to sort through books to find that one answer you couldn't think of earlier. Or just finding something random in my spare time.

I'd CTRL+ALT+DEL whenever I feel like being omnipotent.

oh, and not really a shortcut, but hitting the F5 button 6 million times.

It's the shortcut to dividing by zero.

Backspace. That way I can go back and edit stuff I say if I realize I'm formulating them badly.

But that wouldn't be the one that's in real time, only just a memory of what once was.

Ctrl+T would be nice. You can open tabs and be at multiple places at once.

Eric in the middle of heated conversation with someone in <insert philosophical/scientific subject>:
Person A: I'm not agree with that theory...<insert opinions that contradict with Eric's own idea>
Ericgamer1 invoked the CTRL+ALT+DEL>>Go to process tab>>Right click>>End Process "Person A"
Eric: I find you very annoying *Click*

That's sound so scary :p

You should multiple select anything that you're desire. It saves time.

Ctrl+X sound very practical when you want to take back something that you own from person who don't want to give it back to you.

Shift+Delete to get rid of my stuff. I hate recycle bins.

WinKey+D would be useful when there are too many* people around and I'm trying to think, read, etc. (*more than 0)

Oh yes, and Pause! It'd be useful when you're in an exam, or to save your life two seconds before a car accident.

But no, I'm thinking you can use it in "misc places" to stop time, sneak in, and staaaaare... *dirty thoughts*

I don't know if this would work, but the directional > (End) key so you could skip past stuff in your life. I suppose < would be backwards and not sure what ^ would do. O_o

So CTRL + Z is off limits? How bout apple/clover thingy + Z?
If thats not allowed then I pick NUM LK, ALT + 30.

I also like Akus Shift Delete.

Since I can't do Ctrl + Z, I might as well do Ctrl + 1-10, to help organize my stuff. (Inspired by too many RTS games like RA3.)

I would also like to use the "F" hotkey to do something quicker.

Ctrl+F7 to compile the source code in my head into something real.

Life would have been a damn lot easier if you only had to code what you want done and then run it and watch everything get done by itself while you're still sitting on that chair. Programming for the lazy.

But what would happen if it has bugs? Will that crash my room walls, for example, if I was trying to clean them and I screwed up? Will I see artifacts? What?
