Yes, I agree it is better, only I have so much stuff in my muscle-memory: - the (left) control key - the caps-lock key once or twice (buffer-menu: files-only/all-buffers) - for the buffer-local caps-mode - for dired-jump (right shift, though both works) So if I were to switch to the better solution now, there would be chaos for a while :) > Besides, my fingers are trained for that position. > Every time I use an un-modified keyboard, it drives > me buggy.

No, I can hit the left control with the left-hand little finger while the left-hand index finger remains at F. > Ooh, I *liked* the old Sun keyboards.

Yeah, I've done that a lot, and I'm not actually frustrated about keys because they can be quite pleasant to fiddle around with, but it sure took its fair amount of time. I never thought of the hyper/super modifier, instead I setup C-o to be a new prefix key (much like M-x). I actually think C-o is better than M-x (because it involves both hands) but both are good. Best would be M and then either J, K, L or ; but (you guessed it) I have those since long for other things... -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
