In my experience - buy a good mechanical keyboard, and remap Control and Caps Lock.
- lottin 9y agoI don't understand how remapping Caps Lock to Control is supposed to improve things, considering that there's already a Control key in the vicinity of Caps Lock. For me the bigger problem is the right control key.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoTry it and you'll see. Control is usually two keys lower than Caps Lock, forcing you to bend your pinky in a weird way. As for Right Control - I don't think I ever pressed that key in my life...
- hellofunk 9y agoAt least on MacBook Pros, there is not a control key anywhere in the same pinky area as the caps lock key. A solid inch or two is quite a big deal.
- alyandon 9y agoI used to basically think it was insane that people would recommend changing the layout of my keyboard in order to accommodate the inefficient default key bindings of Emacs. However, even though I long ago stopped using Emacs, to this day I still swap Caps Lock with Ctrl because it's a much more natural position for the control key once you get used to it.
- duncan_bayne 9y agoThe difference between "in the vicinity of" and "on the same row as the home keys" proved immense for me. YMMV I guess, depending on your typing habits.
