by .avallach on August 14th, 2007
Undo. That's usually 2 keys (ctrl-z) but many keyboards have extra buttons for functions like undo, and mine is one of those.
by DreAnna on August 14th, 2007
Toss up between delete and backspace :)
by Shopping Sheryl - home from the hospital on August 14th, 2007
DELETE!
by Da Azian Boi on August 14th, 2007
Delete or backspace. Both would be very useful.
by MrBLT needs to be contained on August 14th, 2007
The Print Screen button could be very very useful!

Get a girl to lie on the bed and keep pressing enter or on a windy day press caps lock , you won't be chasing your baseball cap down the road !!
by psych31mwo says call me Mark on August 31st, 2007
ESC (Escape) :D
by The Account Formerly Known As Peyton on August 29th, 2007
Caps lock. 'Cause everyone knows that the bigger you are, the cooler you are.
by Matt Adore on August 29th, 2007
B flat. Then I could play Chopsticks!
by Shopping Sheryl - home from the hospital on August 29th, 2007
It's a tie between "Undo" and "Delete."
by mseve68 on August 29th, 2007
END could be helpful depending on the situation.
Backspace if you wanted a "do over".
by shoaaib on October 20th, 2008
I think Ctrl+Alt+Z
by Jordanwb on October 17th, 2008
The volume control knob on my keyboard. Since that's not a key per se, I nominate the Page Down key; you can use it to speed through long/boring speeches.
by Penal Colony is wicked marrying Andy on September 11th, 2008
The "Pause/Break" key. I like breaks. And I wish I could pause time quite often.
by Jordanwb on September 11th, 2008
the Delete key.
by STETRII on August 2nd, 2008
Backspace.
by Spaghetti on August 2nd, 2008
Either escape, or backspace.
CAPS lock might be interesting...
What if it just made you shout all the time? Lol.
by Joe_Kool on August 2nd, 2008
I used to have a really nice one for an old IBM PC keyboard. It was bright red with the legend "PANIC".
by Smart2 is back! Did you miss me? on July 16th, 2008
I have a little pink button above the number pad that says "panic" - I use it quite often.
Other than that, I suppose the one I would most <over> use in real life is the "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
by SG QOTABD RIP SHELLA DARLING on August 31st, 2007
ummmmm delete , pause, and insert . enter.
by Branny on August 31st, 2007
Home. For when you just wanna go home and end for when you wanna end a conversation.
by Pensive on August 31st, 2007
Control! I thought everyone would pick that!
BTW, Great question!
by Patti jo on August 31st, 2007
For me the Delete Button - lol
by Shelby on August 31st, 2007
Escape, for obvious reasons.
F1 for when you need help with something.
Space bar for when you need some space.
Those are the ones I would pick.
by Emmagirl wants to leave and not leave... on August 31st, 2007
Return - If it got you back the people you loved and who left you!
by Mgn on June 25th, 2009
Oh, it would be that $ key. If it really produced $ It would make me so happy... I would be hitting that baby every chance I got. Wouldn't that be awesome if you hit it and your CD compartment opened with a fresh $20 every time.. Now we should get Bill Gates working on that one!
by Talimze on February 11th, 2009
Num Lock
"Fuck this! I'm switching to the number pad!"
Yeah, that would be sooo cool.
by isfco on February 11th, 2009
Home, Charles!
by LEO on February 8th, 2009
The Esc key would beam you to the bahamas
by goodquestion on February 8th, 2009
DELETE
by Bramblepath on December 14th, 2008
"sleep" or "standby" - but not all keyboards have those.
by Ujjwal on November 16th, 2008
arrow key because if you dont have direction u will never know where are u going and how long to go.
by Sanguine Visions is wearing ninja garbs on November 11th, 2008
Well it's kind of a combination Ctrl+Z (Undo).
by muffinmanlan on October 20th, 2008
F3 defiantly.
by Anonymous on August 2nd, 2008
backspace
by Aero the lifeguard on July 16th, 2008
Backspace, to take back what you did or said.
by sadhu on July 16th, 2008
the enter key and the e key are most commonly used in the real life
I have a microsoft wireless combo,mouse and keyboard,the mouse sometimes freezes,if i click on something i get the pointing finger,i move it all over and nothing changes on my monitor,but after about 10 minutes or less the picture or writing does change.
