An insult to someone who is aware of almost every hotkey for their computer. They often rub their extensive Hotkey abilities in others faces. Hotkey Faggots think of people who dont use hotkeys as primitive and savage, and seldom use their mouse. This insult is often used in jealousy of a Hotkey faggot's ability to do something in half the time using only their keyboard.
