Tell that to Microsoft. They omitted the right control key on the Surface Book. But even if they had kept it, I don't really agree that it would help much at all. Either way I'm overextending my pinky - whether it's left pinky or right pinky does not matter. Using the alt key (or to a lesser extent the caps lock key) is much better. I'll have to disagree with you on using the mouse also. Taking my hand off the keyboard to use the mouse every time I want to Control-C, Control-V or use any other shortcuts is not really an acceptable solution. Why are we so afraid of simply using the alt key location? :) Are there any Mac users who reassign command key to the "fn" location on their keyboards, caps lock, or their mouse? I think it's unheard of... because the command key location on a mac keyboard is a non-issue. The only time Mac users reassign the command key input is when they are using a Windows keyboard (to make it mimic the mac's keyboard).
