Have you ever wondered if your keyboard shortcuts are set up optimally? Well, I did, so I decided to visualize it with a heat-map.
It proved to me that I rely on my left pinky too much, so I’ll try to rework my shortcuts.
You can check out the project here, currently it only works on Linux.

Meta key to the right of alt? wut?
Yeah, it is on my keyboard
How do you open Facebook?
Why is caps lock your most used key?
I’m assuming blue means a key is more used, so it’s showing Caps never gets used. enter doesn’t make sense though, so maybe it’s only showing key combinations?
No, the red is more used, I just have Caps remapped to control
That seems pretty misleading…
Why? The purpose of this project was for me to see which keys I press more often so I know which fingers get stressed, and it exactly what the project does
From the title, it sounds like something that any keyboard shortcut enthusiast would be able to extrapolate to their own shortcuts. But if yours are custom, then it’s more like a fun fact about yourself.
Fair enough. I’ve only created a visualization tool, I haven’t gathered statistics.
You press Caps Lock more than return. Do you do a lot of shouting in the comments section?
I have it remapped to control
My caps lock is remapped to ctrl+c. I’m pretty sure I use it more than the enter key.
My caps is backspace, try it and you’ll never look back (though Ctrl is good too). It’s actually part of the colemak layout that I use.
