How much of your standard MacBook keyboard's area are you actually utilising? Do you know?

Keys that I honestly never use on my Mac:

- Globe fn key (it's just too inconvenient to press)

- caps lock (I PREFER NOT TO SCREAM WHEN I TYPE)

- F3 - show all windows (I use gestures)

- F4 - spotlight (I use command + space)

- F5 - dictation

- F6 - I have no idea what the moon icon means and what it does.

- F7 - rewind (Idk, I just never press it)

- right option

- right command

- right shift

Each key has a designated area; some keys are larger than others.

Based on this, I've calculated that I don't use 17.68% of my standard US MacBook keyboard.
