I have mapped capslock to ctrl (esc if used without modifiers) which made ctrl+L extremely comfortable for me.
- dmitshur 7y agoI don’t quite understand why. With one hand or two?
- Piskvorrr 7y agoNow you have Ctrl on home row, instead of two rows down.
- microcolonel 7y agoOn a standard PC keyboard, I just use my palm to hit Ctrl (part of why I detest keyboards where Left Ctrl is not at the bottom left corner.
- ascagnel_ 7y agoSome smaller keyboards (including laptops) make the control key small or add an "Fn" key to the bottom-left corner (Apple does this). I tend to hit Ctrl with my left hand, so mapping caps lock to Ctrl makes it more reliable to hit.
- bingerman 7y agoLeft pinky for ctrl (capslock) and right ring finger for L. Works incredibly well for my hands (a quality keyboard helps too). The capslock mapping is obviously meant for vim but works great for many shortcuts like this (ideally there would be a second ctrl/esc and other modifiers to operate with right pinky comfortably, starting my first custom build soon...).
