Why no option for those who use ALL the buttons on the mouse and the context menu? I hate it when I see people move the mouse manually to the back button, I either use the back button on my mouse or backspace on the keyboard.

I use both just about the same amount:

* Keyboard to open, close and reload tabs. And to open links in new tabs.

* Mouse to click links, navigate bookmarks and tabs.

Scroll pages with both mouse (scrollbar) or keyboard, depending where I have my hands when I want to scroll.

Yes, people who do that should be killed on-spot, for a disgraceful sickening act.

ok, that answer lies by a member on neowin, he stated that i am not basing my words on real facts - so i just had to get a short public vote to see what the majority of people use for webbrowsing. (e.g. majority of mouse or majority of keyboard etc)

At first I was purely a mouse guy but I'm slowly switching over to the keyboard because it's quicker in most situations. I'd say that Opera is one of the exceptions for me though, the mouse navigation features are excellent (hold the right mouse button and click the left to go backwards, do the opposite to go forwards, hold the right mouse button and scroll the middle wheel to switch between web pages, etc.)

No because.

1a. There never was any competion.

1b. I never stated it as a fact that a majority prefer shortcuts, I was being hypothetical to make a point.

2. Read the quote below (my emphasis)

If no one likes shortcuts how come that the "I like to use both, but majority of mouse" got most votes?

:rolleyes:

And for all of those that wonder what this is all about, here is the thread that got eXsub to by his own choice start a poll to prove his point that NO ONE likes shortcuts.

P.S. The shortcut that is too complicated for our juvenile member with chubby fingers is the Opera shortcut ctrl+alt+n (launch new window)

and what's more, it CAN be customized to ANYTHING he want's so all the discussion on this is fruitless.

You absolute jackass you, What a fool you are to doubting my intelligence.

I am not prepared to argue with you any further though i shall state the error you have made in your (come back?)

See i said that reply, the "but who really likes complicated bloody annoying shortcuts like that?? No one i can tell you that for sure" in relation to the over-complex shortcut that indeed i will still agree with as bloody annoying and that no one likes them.

Would you like me to run another poll with the question " i like to use 3 buttoned shortcuts rather than two buttoned shortcuts? " because i will if you persist you arrogant little ****. :)

If you'd like to respond in such manner like the last reply i suggest you contact me at, admin@exsub.com, and we can settle this issue you have with me there.

One word. Customize.

If that is what is needed to satisfy your fragile ego and make you happy sure go ahead, I could not care less.

Man this is retarded. On the one hand, we have some pre-teen wanna-be creating a dumbass poll just to drag drama across multiple threads on Neowin. Because you just know his existence hinges on how people he doesn't know browse the web. On the other, you have an out-of-date assclown who didn't get the memo that taking flame bait is so 2003.

The type threads are like car collisions in the real world; you can't help but stop and secretly admire the mess.

There is no patch for human stupidity. :hmmm:

im not a preteen, im almost 20 - this isn't a dumbass poll ( i dont see you creating any better ones?) and my life certinly does not rely on talking to people online.

That one guy just hit the spot and made me mad, but instead of behaving irresponsibly, i proceeded to act with matureness.

Also, the poll is a good idea since its taking the majority of what people use to navigate their browser, i didn't just start this poll to prove that guy wrong - it was in my personal curiosity and an interesting fact to know.
