Google dude: 90% of people don't know how to use CTRL+F

This thread needs a CTRL + ALT + DEL.

  You don't actually know what CTRL + ALT + DEL does, do you?

Try it and find out.

You can use ctrl + alt + Delete to get to the task manager and close a program. So I can of work in a round about way.

ALT + F, X will get you there faster.

You of all people should remember that once upon a time, that combination restarted your computer directly, without an intermediate screen.  The result of the keystroke may have changed, but the useage in English language remained.

Whatever, grandpa.

Not every possible command is implemented or implemented in the same way in every application, so you have to use the dropdowns (or read the documentation) to find out which ones are applicable.  For instance, click on the edit button in your browser.  You may or may not see "replace CTRL + H" listed (it isn't implemented in Firefox; CTRL + H is implemented as "history").

I will ignore the arrogant parts of you post - its the only way really.  And thank you for the helpful part.

I have doubts about how deep that usage penetrated and how lasting it will really be given that it no longer plays such a role.

Sounds more like nerdspeak - an xckd worthy comic.

It still plays such a role to an extent.  If your program freezes up, what do you press?

There are many other reasons to press that combination now (a menu screen with many options pops up)*. And besides made programs when frozen - if you click the x at the top or right click on the program's entry in the taskbar - pop up with that menu asking you if you'd like to force the frozen program to shut down.

*I've even seen some setups where you have to push that sequence to get the login screen to show up.

I just hit the key board with my fists.  Then the CPU.  Then myself.  Something eventually restarts.
