Keyboard Survey 2000

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.

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.
