Keysmash

Keysmash is the act of tapping quickly and randomly on the keyboard of a computer or mobile device. It is usually a series of inconsistent keystrokes that do not form an understandable word or sentence (gibberish).

Users use Keysmash for a variety of reasons, including:

— Express intense or inexpressible emotions.

— Fill a silence in an online conversation.

— Add a touch of humor or excitement to a message.

— Create a visual reaction to a given situation.

— Establish a connection with other users who understand the implicit meaning of the Keysmash.

A good Keysmash is usually chaotic, but it can be effective if it manages to convey the emotion or feeling being expressed.

Here are some tips for creating a convincing Keysmash:

— Use both hands to vary the keyboard keys

— Do not hesitate to repeat the same letter combinations several times.

— Add a smiley or message at the end to indicate that the keystrokes were intentional.

A Keysmash is generally characterized by

— A sequence of random but closely spaced keystrokes on the keyboard.

— The absence of understandable words or sentences.

— An intention to express an emotion or reaction rather than communicate specific information.

— The desire to make people believe in an encrypted/coded/secret message when it is only random letters.
