If that fails, get a program that rewrites key registries and designate your caps lock key to be space.
And watch as your pinky becomes the size of your thumb with muscles.

Left shift wouldn't be too bad, actually... you'd just have to get used to only using the right shift key for shift, which is how I usually type.

Capslock, despite being useless, is a bit too high to be comfortable to hit constantly like that.

But try to fix that space bar, first.

why not format your "windows" key as space? its close, in a convenient position (despite being slightly awkward) and is virtually useless annoying at the best of times.

alternatively, simply buy a new keyboard, they arent that expensive.

Fixed that for you. ;)

I think it's a vastly amusing thought that elephants are so afraid of heights that when Dwarves invented the Z-axis, they couldn't bear to face dwarves in combat anymore.

i find shortcuts to be more work than simply clicking on the appropriate icon. the only one i use is Ctrl-Z.

soooooooo, meh.  :)

I use Ctrl + z, c, v, n, and y on a regular basis. Don't know what I'd do without'em.

List of windows keyboard shortcuts.

Some of the keyboard shortcuts I use regularly are, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, Win+D, and Win+F.

Sorry for going off-topic. :-[

If you can't pry the space bar loose then you probably need to buy a new one, if you can't live with it as is.

i dont know why, but i appear to be some form of derailment magnet....

also, could you update us on your current position in regards to the spacebar issue?

if you do happen to purchase a new one, id suggest going with one of those new folding ones, they are very resiliant, and can bear the brunt of any liquid based attack. (especially tea, mmmmm tea...)

I'm teaching my dumb thumb to press the button either hard or correctly or both, and I'm getting quite used to it.

Still mad at my sister though.

what could be fun to do to get back at her is (if you have the time, and resources) it to gradually sew folds into her clothes, causing them to be thinner. this can produce maximum Lulz when combined with the Hack-the-scales trick ;D

That, my good sir, is assholeish.
I like it.

But really, try to fix it. It really shouldn't be too difficult to pry off. What kind of keyboard is it, anyway?
