When I type on the keyboard I often always type F at the end and immediately backspace. I don’t understand why I do it and I can’t stop doing it.

[–] LogarithmicCamel@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

If it really bothers you, every time you realise you did this, delete the previous word before the F and retype it, maybe even a few times, while paying attention to every movement. Slowing down helps too.

I have ctrl+s as a unavoidable muscle memory.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Mine is ctrl+shift+s, because it saves an incremental version. This way, if the client says "Actually I preferred the bassline an hour ago, can we go back?" I can say "sure, no problem!".

It also protects in case the file is corrupted. I know so many people who just save over the same file and it always amazes me.

This is wild I picked up this quirk like 4 years ago, F key even. I code so a lot of the times I'm already ending something with a semicolon, but then the line gets an extra temporary F just to be sure

I couldn't imagine doing anything like thatf.

I do the same thing with a space.

I have no idea why I do that and when I started

Space is for the spell checker to run on the last word.
