Clumsy Keystroke Aggravation

Can anyone tell me what keystrokes are causing me to inadvertently close my browser? I was just typing a post here and once again I shut myself out, lost the post. Happened a few days ago as well, and has happened many times previously (I'm a terrible typist).

-chuckle- this is a damn good question and I have done the same a few times, myself. And- wondered what key I possibly hit to make it happen.

More censorship I'm guessing.

Not the 'lazy thumb' rubbing the touch pad trick (notebooks)?

Not in my case, at least. The touchpad is out of reach. I use a plug in keyboard.

No touchpad on my old Gateway keyboard either. I'm sure it's a key combo I'm hitting, but I can never remember what it is, because I'm so angry about my browser closing and losing the post, esp. if it's a long one. And I'm frantically trying to somehow bring it back.

Lazy left or right pinky while catching W?
