<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I was reading a discussion about keyboards and decided that maybe this is something that would benefit others.</p> <p>I have been pressing Ctrl with my palm for years (just below left pinky). It only works with external keyboards, and it does not work very well for all Ctrl combinations (e.g. Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-X is at the limit of doable, in that case I use the right ctrl).</p> <p>but it has saved my pinky from being overworked</p> <p>(and yes, I tried dvorak, but I could not get used to emacs ctrl sequences no matter how much I tried... i was able to get to around 40-50 words a minute for text, but like 1 emacs command per minute --after 59 wrong commands).</p> <p>Aside from mapping CAPS lock to Ctrl, are there any other tricks people use with the typical keyboard?</p> <p>Edit: somebody mentioned that this is probably useful only for small sizes of hands. When fully extended my hands are 21cm from tip of thumb to tip of pinky.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/dm_g"> /u/dm_g </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rg2yrx/using_the_palm_just_below_left_pinky_to_press_ctrl/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rg2yrx/using_the_palm_just_below_left_pinky_to_press_ctrl/">[comments]</a></span> |
