    Actually, being a touch-typist means you're LESS likely to notice. I type moderately fast (60-80 wpm), but if you ask me where a given key is located, I have to think about it. I've been typing long enough that my fingers do what is necessary without conscious thought.

    But a regular PC user should recognize Undo, Cut, Copy and Paste.

      Yep, kind of why I think lighted keyboards are pretty useless for me.

        I wrote a program that watches the files which are created, updated, deleted, etc on your disk (Read about it here on CP[^]). Wow, that was gratuitous self-promotion and it didn't even feel like it. :laugh: Anyways, I had DiscoFiles running and I noticed that MS Edge directories were accessed. MS Edge Secrets I looked in this MS Edge directory and found its secrets... You can get to it on your system (If you are running Edge) at:

        %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\ZxcvbnData\3.0.0.0

        I mean I'm assuming that last directory will be named ZxcvbnData on yours too?? Copy-Paste to your FileExplorer and it'll get you there. You can see that there[^]. It's a list of files named:

        english_wikipedia.txt
        female_names.txt
        male_names.txt
        manifest.fingerprint
        manifest.json
        passwords.txt
        surnames.txt
        us_tv_and_film.txt

        What!?! Well, passwords is a lot of fun. Check it out. FYI - the passwords file is 30,000 lines long (30,000 common / bad passwords)

        I only use Edge on one website. For some reason I can't sign into the website without using Edge, both Vivaldi and Firefox don't work on that particular site.

          I have a healthcare site that will not work on FireFox. When I attempt to login, it tells me that the ID doesn't exist. But that isn't true, of course. It's very odd that it tells me a totally incorrect error and doesn't just fail some other way. I use Brave (chrome-based) and then the site works perfectly fine. Edge is chrome-based also.

                    Are they using those to warn user when they picked a common password which is among those 30k? The real question is, why aren't those common password saved in a condition which is sorted alphabetically? What a waste of computing resource.

                      I seem to recall using some Hazeltine terminals that didn’t have lowercase back in the early 80’s in college.

                      The (mechanical) teletype terminals I used at school in the 70s only had upper case. The delete character was shifted O and it was a standing joke to say "Oh-shift ;I've mistyped!"

                        I'm not very impressed with male_names.txt - it's not even close to complete. OriginalGriff isn't even in there!
