The same. Even worse in fact, as Caps-B has even larger distance between the keys than Ctrl-B.
Ctrl-T, Ctrl-G, Ctrl-B, Ctrl-Y, Ctrl-H and Ctrl-N should never be used for control key sequences except for something invoked rarely (and certainly not at the beginning of each command).
Besides, Ctrl-B is not even logical. It was decided upon as "well, screen uses Ctrl-A, so we'll use Ctrl-B". Zero concerns about usability.
- db48x 9y agoIf you're straining your hands to type a chord, then you're typing it incorrectly. Control, alt, and shift are on both sides of the keyboard for a reason. You should use both hands to type chords; one key with each hand.
- grzm 9y agoWhile distance between keys (in this case ctrl and B) is one factor, it's not the only factor. The position of Caps Lock is just to the left of A, which is part of the home row on a QWERTY keyboard, while depending on hand position, control is much harder to get to. I know the curl required for my pinky to engage Control is less comfortable for me than the slight shift to engage Caps Lock.
