In the same vein it seems totally ridiculous that we use the pinky finger to hit ctrl. Surely there are better ways.

- spudlyo 17y agoThere are. The Kinesis keyboard has four thumb buttons on each side of the keyboard. The biggest, closest one on the left side I map to CONTROL. The other big left thumb button I map to ESCAPE.
- RevRal 17y agoYou can also look into importing a Japanese keyboard for more thumb options.
- Calamitous 17y agoWhy? Do the Japanese have more thumbs? Sorry. Had to get it out my system.
- RevRal 17y agoI don't get it. . . . They have two thumbs, but within reach of their thumbs are extra keys. They need these extra keys because there are a lot of characters in their writing. They don't need more thumbs, because they only need to push one of these extra keys at a time. Do I need more pointer fingers if I need to use one of the Y, H, N, B, T, G, and V keys?
- Calamitous 17y agoUm, it was a joke...

- goof 17y agoI map right alt to ctrl. This gives you alt with your left thumb and ctrl with your right thumb, which is pretty intuitive once you get used to it.
- breck 17y agoi map capslock to ctrl using autohotkey
- Hexstream 17y agoI remapped my keyboard so I can press CTRL with my thumb (it's where ALT conventionnaly is). No need to use pinkies and alternate between left and right CTRL!
