WEEKLY WHINE
San Francisco resident Ed Wilton wanted to know which of their 101 keys computer users like best. So he has conducted a survey of 4,000 users across the nation, asking them which key they like best. [He says that a few chose a Windows key or some other nonstandard key, so he disregarded those answers.] The results are given below, in a table and in convenient pie chart format.
| Keyboard Survey 2000 Overall Results | |
| Main Enter | 29.1% |
| Number pad Enter | 11.8% |
| Escape | 8.1% |
| Left Ctrl | 7.8% |
| Backspace | 7.7% |
| \ | 6.2% |
| Right Shift | 5.7% |
| , | 5.4% |
| Spacebar | 4.9% |
| Number pad + | 4.7% |
| Tab | 3.1% |
| F1 | 2.4% |
| Q | 1.3% |
| Number pad 0 | .6% |
| Up arrow | .5% |
| Other | .7% |
The results were also tabulated according to gender, age group, and ethnicity, but no significant differences from the overall results were noted. Slightly more programmers than normal selected ;, and slightly more people who described themselves as "casual Internet users" selected F1 than normal. Finally, 100% of astronauts surveyed selected Spacebar.
