The only way to hit the ctrl key ergonomically with either hand is by lifting your hand from the home row.
But that makes touch typing ridiculously hard. It is extremely easy to fail to return your hand correctly to the home row and now everything you type will be off.
- b5n 4y ago> The only way to hit the ctrl key ergonomically I just just use the side of my palm (top of fifth metacarpal) to engage C. Super comfortable, low effort, no leaving the home row.
- chillfox 4y agoThere are small bumps on the F and J keys so that you can feel when you are correctly on the home row.
- rhaway84773 4y agoYes, but then you need to bring your hands back to the correct position, and you’re lifting it off the keyboard. Which means you will likely be fumbling till you feel the bumps correctly. With Vim and Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl & Esc I never have to completely leave the home row.
- chillfox 4y agoCan't say I have ever needed to fumble to find them, my fingers just land on them.
- wruza 4y agoIt’s sad that the best space for control keys is occupied by a pretty boring “ “ key, which is 6+ keys wide for some stupid reason.
