If you're counting while reading, watching or listening — items in a spreadsheet, events in a video, errors in a recording — reaching for the mouse breaks your attention every single time. The keyboard doesn't: your hands are already there, and the space bar is the largest key on it.

Why the space bar

The space bar is the one key you can hit reliably without looking and without moving your hands from a resting position — which is exactly what's needed when your eyes are on something else. It's also large enough to hit with either thumb, so it doesn't matter how your hands happen to be sitting.

The counter ignores the space bar while you're typing in a settings field, so renaming a counter or setting a limit doesn't accidentally add to the count.

Counting while watching something

A common use is counting occurrences in a video or a recording — takes, mentions, faults on a production line camera, birds at a feeder. Put the video in one window and this in another, and count with space while watching.

For anything you'll need to check afterwards, use several counters rather than one and name them, so you end up with a breakdown rather than a single total you can no longer explain.

Questions people ask

Will the space bar scroll the page instead of counting?

No — the counter takes over the space bar and prevents the page from scrolling while you're counting.

Does it still count while I'm typing in a settings box?

No. Typing in any field is ignored by the shortcuts, so you can rename a counter without changing its total.

Can I hold the key down to count fast?

Yes — key repeat works, though it's worth setting a step instead if you're counting in large amounts.
