Never really had to use it much, especially in OS X. Is it really useless on a mac?


I put a V-TECH sticker on my iMac DV 400 and i'm burnin' Geo Metro's left and right.

Command option esc.

why is esc, option, etc lowercase, while the letters and F keys uppercase?

what do you mean? A lot of keyboard key's are printed differently, you know, unless thats not what you're referring to.

I use "esc" pretty often. It's handy when you need to "cancel" something quickly and don't have your hands on the mouse.
