Typing frequencies of non-character keys?
« on: Thu, 07 March 2013, 12:27:05 »
Do you know of any published keyboard typing frequencies for the following keys?:

Shift, Ctrl, Alt, F-keys, Window, Enter, Backspace, Delete, Insert, Esc, arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Pause Break, Print Scrn

Thank you.

I guess it depends on ones workflow too much. Numbers would be completely different among MS Office, Emacs, Vim etc. users.

Thanks davkol.  That would explain why I couldn't find the frequencies :confused:.
