   I'm getting an urge to write a program to walk you through figuring out how shit your keyboard is.

   Like I know this one can't do "MY", but that's not gonna be the only combination it can't do.

     @foone I'm trying to figure out how you test this without just typing MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

     @Canageek the trick is that key repeat stops if you push another key.
     so hold SHIFT, press M, then press all the other keys while still holding M. You'll get 1 or 2 Ms at most

     @foone ! Odd. When I tried it on my laptop keyboard I got endless Ms.

     Haven't tried my fancy Microsoft keyboards yet.

     @Canageek well that's a different kind of fucked up, then!

     but yeah this would be something a program would be nice for: it could tell you "HOLD DOWN M" and then just swallow the Ms and tell you what keys you DID press that it saw
