I was just thinking if anyone has analysed which keyboard key is used most while using Visaul Studio.
Some of the candidates (IMO) are: "F5", "." (dot), "Tab", "Enter", "Space"
I would like to exclude "Ctrl", "Shift" and "Alt" for obvious reasons (They mostly need to be pressed in combination of other keys).
It would be fun to write a visual studio extension which can give me the stats about keyboard hits. 
I am not sure if it already exists.

I agree. Followed closely by Delete.

Select and delete. yeah!!

Followed eventually by CTRL+Z!

I remember the days when we had to call it the destructive backspace key, because that's the character it sends.
So the world has become a less destructive place.

I constantly hit CTRL+SHIFT+S to save all files in case VS crashes.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Yes, that CTRL + Z combination is my choice of answer.

All of them. I write code by repeatedly smashing the keyboard with a sledgehammer. This results in beautiful symphony of code that materializes out of the seeming chaos.

The one closest to my head.
The unbeatable debugger and great documentation are the only things that stop me dragging VS out into the backyard for a summary execution.

I type more alphabetic characters than any other, so a lexical analysis would be prudent before I considered which key I use most. It would likely be the letter used most often in English nouns and verbs, vs. the 'e' that occurs most frequently across all English words.

So, you are closing Visual Studio more often than doing anything in it.

Though sometimes I mix it up with Delete.

And then my keyboard keys would align so that I can easily type all I need with one hand and without losing productivity! The other hand I can use for uhhh... Using the mouse

I attempted to get some empirical data on this by installing a key logger on my bosses computer, at a financial institution. Can you send me a file in a cake please!

I'm the same as most posts here, but the second most press keys are ALT + G. With the Visual Assist addon that combo goes to definition/decleration of a variable, function, object, header file etc.

=, equals sign
not sure really. but the braces {} are starting to annoy me. MVC/Web API/Javascript -> and very little use of brackets [] compared to braces, yet to use braces need to SHIFT+]. AHH

When I fall asleep, I usually type 'd'..
