I feel like people who think the "CTRL" key goes on the home row never pressed CTRL+Z, CTRL+X, CTRL+C or CTRL+V in their entire lives.
Makes zero sense ergonomically to put the CTRL key on the home row.
I tried it for about 0.05 seconds and after pressing CTRL+Z one time I knew it was not a good idea for me. pinky finger does not like pressing a key while being on a higher row than another finger also pressing a key. painful.
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoI'm not a programmer, mostly do CAD / CAM and general construction business whatever. I remapped capslock to delete, and shift-capslock to capslock for the rare occasion I want to yell at my future self.
- physPop 4y agothats becauze ctrl z/x/c/v aren't used for copy paste if you're using vim or emacs.
- myrandomcomment 4y agoThat is simple. Just keep your control key and map caps lock to control also. That way you are never out of control.
- zeorin 4y agoMy fix for this is to also remap holding the Enter key to right control. That way I can use the "control" key on the opposite side of the alpha key, the same way one is meant to do with the shift key when touch typing.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoI just naturally used my ring or middle finger to press capslock in those cases. If you like the idea, then maybe stick with it longer than <1 sec. ;)
