I don't get it. Why would you use [shift], even if you weren't using the numpad.

I didn't even realise you could * with the numpad. Didn't think about it.

Shift.

If I want to use the numpad for that with my laptop I'd have to use the Fn key anyway, so it's the same difference.

shift+8 4 lief

numpad is just too far away from the rest of the keyboard for me.

I'm using a laptop so it's not like I have a choice, but when I'm using my PC I use shift.

I guess I probably do the shift thing in the rare event that I even need a *

Oh, okay. I have a laptop and using [Fn] to enable the numpad is a hassle, so [shift].

Same here, and even on a regular keyboard it is shift for me.

Holy Christmas I didn't know I could * with the numpad.

Meh, it's too far away from where my hands usually are (not my crotch) for me to start now so I will say shift+8

Shift + 8 is much easier and more convenient for me. :cat:

Well I just tried to be funny and do ascii, but apparently in the new FireFox Alt+Numpad = Hotkeys o_O; I'll have to look into that... Anyway, I'm a shifter person...

If I'm at work doing SQL queries and whatnot and using a lot of numbers (which is all the time) I user the number pad. If I'm typing mostly text, then I usually use shift+8.

The lack of a number pad is why most laptops suck.

the lack of number pad is the single reason i am impelled to get a laptop :p

I rarely use the numpad when typing. That's reserved for the calculator.

I never use the numpad because I have to bring my arm over approximately 3.1 inches which uses up 0.0053 more of my body's energy than if I were to use the numbers at the top which means that I will need to get a drink 0.02 seconds earlier and not work to the body's optimum efficiency

It's less effort for a touch typist to do Shift+8 than it is to drag your hand over to the other end of the keyboard.
