I've been messing with keybr daily for a while now and have retrained myself to do things more properly but two things about doing everything the "right" way bother me:
1. Too many keys on the right pinky - all punctuation except for `!`, `,`, `.`, plus backspace and return.
2. Opposite modifier keys rule - I just can't retrain myself for this one especially since it's a yet another key for the right pinky. I always end up only using the keys on the left side.
Not sure how to best fix those.

- y-curious 1y agoLike many above, I learned on a split keyboard. If you are committed to touch typing and the 2 points you mentioned bother you, I highly suggest a split keyboard. The placement for backspace and return being on your thumbs is so common-sense that it feels stupid to have it any other way.
- Ezhik 1y agoBeing able to use thumbs for anything besides the spacebar would be great. Any keyboard recommendations for beginners?
- foo42 1y agoFor me, using a keyboard with more keys around the thumbs and configurable keymaps with layers solves this. I have space, return and esc all easily accessible on my thumbs and my most used punctuation across the easily reached keys (such as home row) on a layer, also activated with my thumb. fwiw I use a moonlander but many keyboards could work equally well I'm sure
