As a decade long Emacs user, I can not follow: what's the problem with modifier keys?!
Just kidding, I know that some people have a hard time typing them, especially when your day job consists of doing exactly that for eight hours.
- Jensson 2y ago> what's the problem with modifier keys?! Lets say your keyboard requires modifier keys for a specific symbol, but your program treats that input differently depending on whether modifier keys are held or not. Or another bad one, lets say your keyboard requires multiple strokes for a specific symbol, for example backticks, and your language uses backticks as quotes... So many language and programs designed with strange symbols and keyboard modifiers are close to unusable in other keyboard layouts.
