I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.
Instead of scrolling back up to the top of a website, I refresh the page.
that is pretty lazy, especially on a pc where if you’d just have the energy to move a finger over to the right side of the keyboard to tap HOME once is all it would take.
Yeah, my right hand is on the mouse and my left hand rests on the left cmd/ctrl key to easily hit shortcut combinations. So it’s easier to hit cmd/ctrl+R or F5 instead of reaching across to the Home button with my left hand or letting go of the mouse with my right.
I’ve had so many discussions with fellow nerds about the efficiency of hand placement and movement. Mostly they and I agree, but for some reason I’ve never understood, no one approves of using the heel of the hand for modifier keys, especially Ctrl. It doesn’t work on laptops but on external keyboards it’s always seemed the most efficient to me!
Firefox always dumps me at the bottom of the page after a refresh!
ctrl-f5 should take you to the top after a full refresh. takes longer, though, because it forces the browser to re-fetch any resources like media and scripts that exist in its cache.
I use a simple mouse gesture bound to scroll to top, or the Home key on my keyboard. Those are no more effort than a refresh.
